As for stands, the saxes and trombones (playing seated, I imagine) could possibly use the low-profile folding cardboard stands (also available in corrugated plastic and melamine).
Hmm... provided the clip on the stand light doesn't destroy them, that's actually worth looking into. My only concern is that they might make it harder for the wind players to get at their doubles. (Everyone has at least two doubles.)
I played in a band for a few years that used them for the saxes (trombones and trumpets used more regular stands, with clip-on thingies that hung from the back, with the band logo on them - far easier to get your slide past them, and easier to see the music on), and used clip-on lights that chewe up the edge a bit, but some reinforcement took care of that. The band had been together for many years when I joined them (and left after 5 years) and the stands held up well. But they were not something I'd even consider taking on the bus (no subways in San Diego).
