Brass Band Management

Every seat filled. Every contest covered.

Traditional structure meets modern management. My Band keeps your brass band organised from top soprano to BBb bass.

Brass bands have a unique structure: 28 specific seats, each with a defined role in the ensemble. From solo cornet to BBb bass, every chair matters — and when someone can't make it, you need to know quickly so you can find a dep or rearrange the band.
Whether you're a championship section band preparing for the Areas, a community band playing parks and fetes, or a youth band developing the next generation, the admin challenge is the same: keeping track of your players, managing your music library, and organising your packed calendar.
My Band understands the brass band world. Named seats, specific instruments, contest preparation, and the social side of banding — it's all built in.

Key challenges

28 seats to fill

Every seat matters in a brass band. Knowing who's available and which chairs are empty isn't optional — it's essential for every rehearsal and concert.

Contest preparation

Months of preparation, specific seating arrangements, registration requirements. Contest admin on top of regular band admin.

Music library management

Test pieces, entertainment programmes, hymn tunes, marches. Hundreds of sets of parts to track and organise.

Player development

Tracking who's progressing, who's ready to move seats, and which young players need encouragement and support.
