Congratulations on your first sound design show! Best of luck to you.  
QLab couldn't be a better program for you to start out on. It is the  
easiest software to use, and also more feature packed than a number  
of other professional programs out there.

As Philip stated, just use copy and paste (CMD+C, CMD+V), or you can  
just drag the sound file over to the workspace again. Also, as your  
working, you can just drag cues up and down in the workspace to move  
them to different locations.

Your approach is the right one. Always try to program a show with as  
little user error as possible.

This was exactly the original goal for creating the MIDI control in  
QLab. Christopher did an excellent job in creating the MIDI  
implementation in QLab, and I know he has more in store for us with  
MIDI control. I recommend spending the money for the show control  
plug-in. Also, the enhanced audio plug-in is nice for the extra  
outputs and mixer copy/paste functions. Even though QLab is pretty  
darn hip on it's own, with these plug-ins, it is even more powerful a  
tool.

Good luck!!
