Set up your band profile

Your band profile is what competition hosts see when you register. Fill it in once at the start of the season and just touch it up as numbers change. The most important part is the roster grid — it's how MusterSheet figures out which competition class your band belongs in.

Open your band profile

  1. Click your initials in the top-right corner.
  2. Click Band Profile.

(Or click Edit on the Band Profile card of your dashboard.)

Fill in the basics

Work down the form — only four fields are truly required (Band Name, School Name, City, State), but the more you fill in, the better:

  • Basic Info — band name, an optional Nickname (short name), this year's Show Title, program type, and Member Count.
  • School — school name and location, plus Principal Name, Superintendent Name, and Booster President Name. These aren't busywork: the announcer's script at competitions is built from them ("...under the direction of..., principal..., superintendent...").
  • Section Leaders — Drum Major, Color Guard Captain, and the rest. Also read aloud by announcers.
  • Travel Requirements — how many Buses and Trailers you bring. Hosts use this to plan parking.

The roster grid

Under Roster, enter how many students you have per section, per grade — Winds, Percussion, Color Guard, Majorette, Dance Line, Twirler, and Drum Majors, across 6th, 7th, 8th grade and High School. Leave a box at 0 if it doesn't apply. A running Total badge adds it up as you type.

This grid is what competitions use to suggest your class automatically — when you go to register, you'll see "Your band qualifies for..." based on these numbers. Keep it roughly current; it doesn't have to be exact to the student.

Privacy choice

At the bottom is one checkbox worth a moment's thought: "Show this band's scores on public results pages." Leave it checked and your scores appear on the public leaderboard like everyone else's. Uncheck it and only you and the competition host can see your numbers — the public sees your rating only.

When you're done, click Save Changes. You'll see "Band profile updated successfully" at the top of the page.

Co-directors

Any director on the band can add another:

  1. From the band profile settings page, click View public profile (or go to your band's page from your dashboard).
  2. In the Directors section, find Add co-director.
  3. Type their email address and click Add co-director.

Note

The person must already have a MusterSheet account (as a Band Director) with that email. Have them create an account first.

The primary director — marked with a Primary badge — can also:

  • Click Make primary next to a co-director to hand over the primary role (for example, when you change schools).
  • Click Remove to take a director off the band.

Both actions ask you to confirm before anything happens.

Your band's public page

Every band has a shareable public page showing its name, school, classification, show title, directors, and competition history with placements. Find yours via View public profile on the band settings page — the web address it opens is safe to share with parents or put in a program.
