A "Grade A" Factory Second folder will have small flaws that don't allow it to pass quality control.  It might relate to closed alignment, a scratch, a stitching issue or some issue with the cover material, but should not be visible to the audience at a choir concert, and saving 25% on these should be considered a very good value.

The MUSICFOLDER.com Band and Orchestra Folder features the same quality construction as our other folders, with metal corner protectors, a name card, and two pencil holders (no excuses!). The spine width is 2" to allow lots of room for music; each pocket is expandable on 3 sides. One could add the clear pocket option to organize notes or concert programmes to keep it discreetly accessible at the front without having to raise a page out of the pocket to see what's next, or for notes of repositioning locations during a concert.
