Corevalus Systems (Georgetown, Kentucky) brought a very cool product to NSCA. SamePage is an LCD display coupled with the SamePage software that lets choir members and musicians ditch the paper music sheets and use digital files instead. As one user pointed out, it’s rather unpleasant when the HVAC kicks in and blows sheet music all over the stage.

SamePage not only removes that messy problem, but it allows for central control. One person can program the displays so that each performer gets just the music they need – a violinist gets the music for strings and an alto gets the music for vocals.

The company hopes that eventually, downloading new music sheets will be as easy as ordering from iTunes.

Another nice advantage, according to what the company told us at NSCA, is that once those delivering the sermons see what this can do for the performers, he or she wants to know what the dealer can do for them, too.
