For Managers

You Run the Orchestra. Let Us Handle the Admin.

Whether you lead a 20-member community band or a 100-piece symphony, WePlayIn.Band gives you the tools to manage your musicians, events, and music — so you can focus on what matters: making music.

The Reality of Directing an Orchestra

You got into this because you love music. But somehow you’ve also become an event planner, an attendance tracker, a WhatsApp group moderator, a filing clerk for sheet music, and a part-time IT administrator. The bigger your orchestra, the more it multiplies. Whether you have 20 musicians or 120, the core frustrations are the same — just at different scales.

You’re the Director, the Manager, and the Admin — All in One

For municipal wind bands, community orchestras, brass bands, chamber groups, and amateur ensembles with fewer than ~50 musicians.

You know the drill. You’re unpaid (or barely paid), your musicians are volunteers with busy lives, and you manage everything yourself — often from your phone between rehearsals.

Your typical week now

  • Monday: Send WhatsApp message about Thursday’s rehearsal. Half the group doesn’t read it.
  • Tuesday: Call the section leaders to check numbers. Two don’t pick up.
  • Wednesday: Print 35 copies of the new piece. Realize the clarinets need a different part.
  • Thursday: 8 musicians don’t show up. No one told you. You reorganize the seating on the fly.
  • Friday: Start planning next week. Repeat.

Professional Management for Serious Ensembles

For civic orchestras, regional symphonies, large wind orchestras, and organizations with 50+ musicians, multiple administrators, and complex calendars.

Your challenges go beyond scheduling. You need visibility across a large organization, accountability for your board or sponsors, and tools that match the complexity of your structure.

  • 📊 Director Dashboard — real-time analytics: attendance rates by section, participation trends, response timing, lowest-coverage positions. No more guessing.
  • 🔐 Granular roles & permissions — three roles (Manager, Director, Musician) with configurable access across 12 areas. Give section leaders exactly the access they need.
  • 📋 Operations log — full audit trail of every action. Transparency for governance and reporting.
  • 📈 Excel exports — attendance data, musician lists, and reports ready for your board meetings or municipality submissions.
  • 🎵 Sheet music visibility controls — share scores orchestra-wide, by section, or by individual position. Musicians only see what’s relevant.
  • 🤖 Wolfgang AI Assistant — voice-powered management. Create events, check attendance, manage repertoire — by speaking naturally in English, Italian, Spanish, or Catalan.
  • 🏢 Multi-orchestra support — manage multiple ensembles from one account.
  • 🇪🇺 EU data compliance — GDPR-compliant servers in the European Union. Member data stays safe.
