BandHQ Plus

What Plus does,
and what it will do.

The app is free and stays free. Plus is the committee and band-room layer on top of it — one price per band, however many players. Plus is not on sale yet. This is what is waiting for it, honestly labelled: what is built and running, what is underway, and what is designed and not yet written.

BuiltWritten, running, and waiting for launch day
  • Rehearsal passages and confidence

    Set the work down to the bar — “letter B to E, up to tempo” — and every player says how they are getting on with it. The MD sees the answers, never who said what.

  • Where the band is

    The whole band against the music itself, section by section: which passages are solid, which nobody has touched yet. Counts only — who practised what is nobody’s business but theirs.

  • Band practice

    The four people who have gone quiet, the ones behind a target, and what is due this week — in front of you, rather than buried in twenty-six rows of healthy.

  • MD analytics

    Attendance and section health over time, so “we are short of cornets lately” is a number rather than a feeling.

  • Running orders

    Build the programme for a concert or contest, publish it to the band, and print it three ways — the stand sheet, the audience copy, and a strip for the stand. It works on a phone with no signal, which is where it gets read.

  • Renewals

    What the committee owes and when — insurance, the confirmation statement, the AGM, contest entries. The things that are only a problem once they are late.

  • Committee meetings and minutes

    A meeting with an agenda, the minutes taken against it, and the actions that come out of it with a name and a date on each. Alongside it, the trustee list and a handover pack — so the next secretary inherits a record rather than a carrier bag.

  • Contest and concert seating

    The stand plan, drawn once and reused. Start from the common British layout or lay out your own, put a name on every chair for a contest or a concert, and see the empty ones before the day. It prints as a one-page crew sheet, and each player sees where they sit on their phone.

Where the band is — every section against the music itself, counts only.
A contest running order, with the clock, the call times and your own part.
A target set on letters B to E — the work, down to the bar.

  • Safeguarding officer and DBS register

    Who holds a check, when it expires, and who to go to. This one waits on legal review before any band can switch it on — a register of who has been checked is not something to get approximately right.

Designed, not builtDesigned and written down — no code yet
  • Handbook and policies

    The band’s standing paperwork in one place, with a proper approval trail: who signed a policy off, when, and which version the band is actually working to.

  • Instrument inventory

    An insurance schedule first, a loan register second: what the band owns, what it is worth, who has it, and when it was last valued.

  • Subs and payments

    Track what is owed and what has come in. Deliberately not a payment processor — the treasurer keeps their bank account and gets a straight answer about who is behind.

  • Bands that work together

    Link with the band down the road: share a date, ask for a dep, lend a euphonium. Connecting is free and grants nothing by itself — you choose what each connection can see.

No dates on this page, and no price. Every date we could give you would be a guess, and a band planning a season deserves better than a guess. The price is not settled — when it is, it will be on the pricing page and nowhere else. Nothing above can be switched on today, including the things marked built.

Not on the list?

Tell us what your band needs.

This list came from bands telling us what their season actually costs them in evenings. If the thing that would save yours is not on it, we would rather hear it than guess.

Only the first box is needed. Nothing you write here is published — it comes straight to us.
