In addition, the tables provide a convenient place for supplies such as pencils, a sharpener, tape, and a stapler, which students use daily. Having everything in one central location has made rehearsals smoother and helped us transition more efficiently between activities. The foldable design also gives us the flexibility to move or store the tables when we need open space for singing and movement.
