Where can I find a lyrics teleprompter? Has anyone found a decent program that will scroll lyrics for the whole band?

Honestly, I'm not sure, but have you tried the obvious places like eBay and craigslist? If you haven't, you might be able to find something there. But yeah, learning the songs' lyrics is best unless there's some reason you can't.
There's a perfectly good one built into your brain...It's called memory!

A friend of mine had a setup like this which was useful frankly. It tied everyone up, even new people that just popped in since everyone could see where they were.
I understand you NEED to KNOW your parts but I still think it had a place at rehearsals to be honest. For a start it stopped the need for people questioning which chord was used where which was also displayed. Sorry this doesn't help much does it.

I try to. Sometimes even though you know them inside and out, you can still get that ole damn brain fart! That is part of live performing. Just do the best you can, don't let them see that you are sweating over missed lyrics, most times people don't even know.
Good luck and if you do find one, let us know what it is and roughly the cost LOL
Who knows, I might just want one as my old brain keeps losing brain cells as I age.

lol You are supposed to learn all the words, but if you drop a line you are expected to cover up and get through it even if you are ad libbing like a mfer.
The moral is if no one knows about it, it didn't happen.
"we planed it this way" "did you like it" "you did?" "well we intended it that way" (snicker)

This. I used to play in a band where the singer would get so f*cked-up that he needed the lyrics in front of him, taped to the back of the center monitor. Pretty damn gay and embarassing to the rest of the band to say the least...
Hey, a great lyric promoter is the Stageprompter. It is a teleprompter for musicians that allows you to display the lyrics or guitar chords on a hidden screen. It looks like a audio wedge monitor. More info here https://www.stageprompter.co.uk
