Everything your chorus needs, in one app. Sheet music, practice tracks, the rehearsal calendar, and the group chat - together, on every singer's phone, and working offline when the rehearsal room has no signal. MUSIC AND PRACTICE TRACKS Scores and part-dominant learning tracks in the same place, so a singer can read and listen without switching apps. Everything downloads to the phone, so it still opens when there is no signal. DIRECTOR'S MARKINGS Mark up a score once and push it to the whole section. Everyone rehearses from the same breath marks and cuts. CALENDAR AND RSVPS Rehearsals and performances with attendance responses, plus a feed your singers can subscribe to in their own calendar app. MESSAGING THAT STAYS Group and section conversations that do not scroll away, with announcements that reach everyone. SETLISTS AND SHOWTIME Build the setlist for a concert and publish a live program page. Put a QR code on the printed program and the audience follows along. FOR BARBERSHOP CHAPTERS A built-in tag library with all four parts recorded, alongside your chapter's sheet music, section tracks and rehearsal schedule. GET YOUR SINGERS IN QUICKLY Share one QR code at rehearsal and the room joins at once, or read out the short join code for anyone who has to install the app first. WHO IT IS FOR Barbershop choruses and quartets, community choirs, church and worship teams, school and college choirs, and small ensembles of every kind. Free for groups of 8 or fewer. No card required.
