Volunteer at a competition station

A competition host may invite you to run band check-in or the shoutout cash station. This is different from claiming a volunteer spot on your booster calendar: the host gives your account a competition staff assignment with its own working screen.

Accept the assignment

  1. Open the personal invitation link from the host.
  2. Check the competition name and role on the invitation page.
  3. If you already have a MusterSheet account, click Sign In to Accept — with your password or with Continue with Google — and you will come right back to confirm. Sign in with the exact address the host invited; MusterSheet will not attach the role to a different account.
  4. If you are new, use Continue with Google or fill in the account form. Under Account Type, leave Parent / Volunteer selected — that is the right choice for running a station. Only pick Band Director if you also direct a band, which adds Band and School questions.
  5. Click Accept Invitation.
  6. Use the same account even if you are also a booster parent or officer.

After acceptance, your parent/volunteer home page shows Stations You're Staffing. The competition card lists your role and gives you a button that opens the correct station. If that competition is your only assignment, signing in takes you straight to the station screen.

Band check-in station

Open the station button for the competition, then follow Running the check-in station. You will verify arriving bands and their current contact/details before checking them in.

Shoutout cash station

Open the cash-station button, then follow Running the shoutout cash station. You will look up cash shoutout codes, mark paid messages, help with the walk-up kiosk, and reconcile the station total.

If the station is missing

  • Confirm you accepted the invitation while signed in to the same account you are using now.
  • Ask the host whether they assigned the correct email and role.
  • Sign out and back in after a newly accepted invitation.
  • If the assignment is correct but the station still does not appear, contact support.

Never share your password or leave a signed-in station device unattended.
