Give every player their moment. Walk Up Anthems lets baseball and softball coaches build a complete walk-up song experience for their roster — right from their iPhone. Powered by Apple Music, every batter steps up to the plate with the perfect hype track, trimmed to the exact moment that gets the crowd going. BUILD YOUR ROSTER Add players with jersey numbers and positions. Mark players active or inactive as your lineup changes throughout the season. Reorder your roster by drag-and-drop so game day is always organized. ASSIGN WALK-UP SONGS Search the entire Apple Music catalog and assign up to 3 songs per player. Trim each song to start and end at the best moment — no more waiting through slow intros. Add a fade-in for a smooth entrance or a fade-out to cut off cleanly. GAME DAY PLAYBACK Tap any player's row to instantly play their walk-up clip. A live progress bar and album art appear at the bottom of the screen so you always know where you are in the song. The animated waveform indicator shows exactly who is up — no fumbling, no confusion. WARMUP MODE Before the game, hit Warmup Mode to play every player's full song back-to-back as a playlist. Play in roster order or shuffle for variety. Pause, skip forward, skip back, and watch the progress bar count down each song. Your team warms up, the music keeps rolling. PARENTS IN THE DUGOUT Share a team invite code with families. Parents join the team and can personally choose their child's walk-up song — or let the coach set it. Everyone stays in sync automatically. BACKED UP AND IN SYNC Your roster, players, and songs are automatically backed up to your iCloud account. Switch phones or reinstall the app and everything is right where you left it. WALK UP ANTHEMS PRO Upgrade to Pro for unlimited teams and full roster sharing. Free coaches get one team to try it out. Walk Up Anthems works with any Apple Music subscription. An active Apple Music subscription is required for song playback. Terms Of Use: https://www.paradisetechmn.com/terms-of-use.html
