Getting started

Creating the band, getting the players in, and setting up your sections.

Rehearsals & events

Asking who is coming, reading the section balance, and covering an empty chair.

  • Ask who is coming, and read the section balance
  • Cover an empty chair with a dep request
  • Committee meetings, hidden from the band

  • Add the band’s dates to your calendar

News & chat

Posting to the whole band, everyday chat, and reporting or blocking when you need to.

  • Channels for the whole band, and quiet ones between adults
  • Report a message or block a member
