Directors, students, and parents — each gets their own view

Everything your band program needs

Built by a band parent who saw the chaos firsthand. No more clipboards, spreadsheets, or shouting names into the wind.

📱

NFC & QR Check-ins

Students tap their tag or scan a code. Delegate scanning to parent volunteers or section leaders to move even faster.

🚌

Bus Boarding

Visual seat grid shows who's on which bus. See at a glance who's missing before you roll.

📦

Inventory Tracking

Create custom categories with custom fields. Track instruments, uniforms, equipment — whatever your program needs.

📣

Push & Email

Reach students and parents instantly. Filter by custom lists you create and name however you want.

📄

Welcome Letters

Auto-generated PDF onboarding letters with personal QR codes. Students and parents scan to log in — no accounts to create.

📝

Request System

Students request instrument loans or changes. Parents request early checkouts. You approve in-app.

📶

Offline Check-ins

No signal at the stadium? Check-ins queue locally and sync automatically when connectivity returns.
