Big band management, without the big headache
Running a 17-piece band shouldn't mean 17 different WhatsApp threads. My Band brings everything into one place.
Key challenges
Chasing availability
Posting in the group chat and waiting days for 17 people to reply. Following up individually. Losing track of who said what.
Managing deps
When your lead alto can't make it, you need a dep — fast. But who's free? Who's reliable? Where's their number?
Setlist chaos
Hundreds of charts, different arrangements, the MD's personal order vs. what the band actually rehearsed. Printing setlists the night before.
Financial admin
Tracking fees per gig, splitting costs, knowing who's been paid and who hasn't. Spreadsheets that nobody updates.
Lineup gaps
With five sections and multiple chairs per section, knowing at a glance whether you've got a viable band for Saturday is harder than it should be.
Communication overload
Important gig details get buried in chat noise. Someone always misses the venue change or the dress code update.
How My Band helps
One-tap availability for every gig
Create an event and your whole band is notified instantly. They respond in one tap — Available, Maybe, or Unavailable. You see all responses in a single dashboard, with a progress bar showing where you stand.
- Push notifications to every member's phone
- Automatic reminders for non-responders
- Seen tracking — know who's read the invite
Dep contacts at your fingertips
Build a dep book with contact details, instruments, and booking history. When a chair needs filling, you can see who's available and book them directly — all within the app.
- Store phone, email, and instrument details
- Track how many times each dep has been booked
- Assign deps directly into the lineup
Drag-and-drop lineup builder
See every seat in your band. Drag members and deps into position. Instantly spot gaps. The lineup builder is designed for big bands with named chairs — Alto 1, Trombone 3, Lead Trumpet — so you always know who's sitting where.
Song library and setlist builder
Import your entire repertoire. Tag songs by genre, key, tempo, and featured soloists. Build setlists with sets, breaks, and encores. Export as PDF for the bandstand.
- CSV import for bulk library upload
- Track play history across gigs
- Quick-add songs by number
Why ensembles love My Band
Built for large ensembles
Not a generic team app. My Band understands sections, chairs, instrument doubling, and the way big bands actually work.

Everyone on the same page
One place for gigs, availability, lineups, and setlists. No more "I didn't get the message" or "which spreadsheet?".
