What does my band director mean?

He gave us music for a "stands repertoire", and it looks like a lot to memorize for marching band. What does stand repertoire mean? Does that mean we would have stands to read the music off of? Im new to the whole marching band thing so anything you could explain to me, that would be great

    This is music you play in the stands during each game, like a pep band, as opposed to what you would play for an end-zone or half-time show. This means that is should be memorized - it is easier than messing with the flip folder. it has NOTHING to do with music stands - it is for the seating stands. If you need to use the flip folders for the first few games, you will probably memorize this stuff anyway, and then not need to use the folders anymore. I played piccolo, and there is no decent way to carry a flip folder, so I just memorized everything - it just sinks in from repetition.

    Seems like it would be the music you play in the stands for the football games and such. You know like the fight song and such. You probably won't have stands but you might. There is a better chance that you will be aloud to use flip books with or without lyres. That would enable you to have the music

    Other answers are sure to be 99% correct, but why not just ask the director?
