The operating system for a modern band program

One band program. One place to run it all.

Host smoother competitions, keep clean booster books, and give every family a clear view of what’s happening — and what they owe.

Free for directors and parents · No card required

Demo competition data — every station on campus feeding one host command center.

Retire the game-day binder

Most programs run competition day on a registration spreadsheet, a tabulation workbook, paper score sheets, and four different group chats. MusterSheet replaces all of it.

The registration spreadsheet and checks lost in the mail

Online registration with date-tiered fees, card or mailed check — tracked either way

Paper score sheets and a 9pm tabulation scramble

Judges score on their phones — totals, ranks, and ratings compute themselves

A bag of handheld voice recorders to buy, label, and collect

Judges record audio commentary right on their phone — it lands in each director’s packet automatically

A Facebook page, four group chats, and a paper ledger for the boosters

One parent portal for announcements, calendar, sign-ups, payments — no Facebook account needed, and real books behind it

One platform, two seasons

Competition Saturday — and the rest of the school year

The same platform — and the same family logins — runs the invitational you host and the booster program behind it. Pick the side you need first; the other is waiting.

A director's judges packet: final score, class rank, rating, per-judge caption scores, and written judge feedback.

Registration through published scores: division-aware scheduling, press-box judging, an announcer teleprompter with paid fan shoutouts, volunteer stations, and one Publish click that hands every director their complete judges packet.

Built for the stadium, not the office

Signal-proof

When the stadium WiFi drops mid-show, the judge sheet, announcer console, and cash kiosk your team already has open keep taking entries — and everything syncs the moment the bars come back.

Real-time

Schedule changes and published scores update across every phone in the stands within seconds.

Your data stays yours

Fast, reliable, and built to run all day on competition Saturdays. Your booster ledger, audit trail, and family balances export to CSV any time.

The math your booster board can approve

MusterSheet isn’t another line item — it’s built to put money into the band account. For most host programs, one competition’s new revenue covers the year.

Paid shoutouts

Fans pay to have messages read from the press box — by card from their seats or cash at your volunteer kiosk. Once you’ve connected your Stripe account, card shoutouts settle directly to you, same as registration fees; cash lands straight in your drawer and reconciles at the end of the night. That’s revenue you weren’t collecting before.

Vendor row

A vendor directory, application workflow, and announcer ad rotation turn booth space into sponsorships without a single phone call chain.

No per-band license

Directors, judges, announcers, volunteers, and fans never buy a subscription. Your entry fees stay yours — online payment just gets them to you before competition day, not after.

Simple pricing, sized for a band budget

One flat annual price — Booster and Program cover your whole organization; Host covers the director who runs the event. Easy for a booster treasurer to approve, easy for a school to purchase.

Nobody else buys a subscription — directors, parents, judges, and fans never need one of their own. Paying by booster check or school purchase order? We can invoice your organization.

Frequently asked questions

Who usually pays for MusterSheet — the school or the boosters?

Usually the booster organization: it’s a single fiscal-year purchase a treasurer can approve, and the fundraising tools put money back into the same budget. Some districts pay from a fine-arts budget instead — we support that too with invoices for school purchase orders. Either way it’s one flat price, not per-student or per-event.

What happens to our records if we cancel or the subscription lapses?

Nothing is deleted. Your org drops to read-only: every ledger entry, student balance, and report stays visible and exportable as CSV, and families can still pay what they owe. Your books are your books.

Are there card-processing fees on parent payments?

Online payments carry the standard card-processor fee (2.9% + 30¢), added to the payer’s total and shown before they confirm — so your organization always nets the full amount owed. You set the fee basis to match your own Stripe rate, and parents are never charged more than the actual processing cost. Checks and cash recorded by your treasurer post at face value, and both count toward the same student balance.

Do directors, judges, or parents ever pay for access?

Never. Registering for competitions, judging, self check-in, the live schedule, results, and the full judges packet are free for everyone, permanently. Only the program hosting a competition or running the booster suite pays.

How much setup does a competition take?

Create the event, set your classes and fees, and share the link — registration and payment tracking run themselves, and bands beyond a class cap are waitlisted automatically for you to promote in one click. The schedule generates from your settings, and next year you can clone the whole competition and adjust the date.

What if the stadium WiFi dies mid-competition?

Open the judge sheet, announcer console, check-in station, and cash kiosk while you have signal and keep them up, and they keep accepting scores, advances, band check-ins, and cash shoutouts through a dead zone — queued on the device and synced automatically when the connection returns. Ask your team to load their station before the gates open and leave it open, and a signal drop is a hiccup, not a lost Saturday.

Where does shoutout money go?

Cash shoutouts go straight into your drawer — fans pay your volunteer kiosk, and the end-of-day reconciliation report balances the drawer for you. Card shoutouts are charged directly to your own Stripe account, same as registration fees — card is only offered once you’ve connected a payout account and your shoutout price is at least $3.00. You choose whether the band absorbs Stripe’s processing fee or itemizes it on top for the fan. Either way the announcer reads them between performances.

Hosting a competition this fall?

Set up your event, invite your judges, and let registration run itself — everything is free during the 2026 beta season, and there’s plenty of season left.
