Poor guy....been there, done that, only the instrument was a pennywhistle in a rapid passage (both hands very busy) and the culprit was the wind, not a page turn. Outdoor gigs have their little difficulties.
As a kid I marched in a band, with the classic 'silver clip' to hold the sheets of music on the clarinet. Trouble was, juggling the sheets to get to the next piece of music, while looking ahead, trying to keep in formation, with a breeze blowing.
For the timpanist in the video, too bad he's not using NoteWorthy. It would work beautifully for orchestra rehearsals -- just tap F5 or F6 with his mallet and he's on his way.
