Finding your way around¶
A quick tour of the things you'll see on every page.
The bar across the top¶
- MusterSheet logo (top left) — click it any time to return to your Dashboard, your home base.
- Dashboard — your personalized overview: upcoming competitions, things that need your attention, and quick links.
- My Competitions — for directors: every competition your band has entered, past and upcoming.
- Sun/moon button — switches between dark and light color schemes. Pick whichever is easier on your eyes; MusterSheet remembers your choice on that device.
- Bell — your notifications. A small number badge means something new is waiting: a registration was accepted, a schedule was posted, and so on. Click the bell to read them, click a notification to jump to the page it's about, or click Clear all to mark everything read.
- Your initials (the circle at the far right) — your account menu. This is where you'll find Profile, Band Profile, Password, and Logout.
Your profile settings¶
Click your initials, then Profile, to update:
- Full Name — your name as others see it.
- What should we call you? — an optional short name or nickname the app uses when greeting you.
- NAfME Membership Number — optional, for directors who are National Association for Music Education members.
Click Save Changes when you're done. Note that your email address cannot be changed — it's permanently attached to your account.
Green messages and red messages¶
After you save something, a small confirmation appears briefly at the top of the page (for example, "Band profile updated successfully"). If something needs fixing, a red box appears near the form and tells you exactly what's missing — fix that field and submit again. Nothing is saved until the confirmation appears.
Works great on a phone¶
Everything in MusterSheet works on a phone or tablet — competition day is designed for it. Tables become easy-to-read cards on small screens, and phone numbers (like the day-of contact at a competition) become tap-to-call links.
