How event day runs
Two systems. One platform.
One very smooth Saturday.
Solo & ensemble festival adjudication and honor-group audition management, combined in a single portal — here’s what that actually feels like on the day.
8:00AM

Doors open. Check-in runs itself.

Every director registered their solos, ensembles, large groups — and their accompanists — through one portal during registration. The auto-scheduler already clustered each school’s performances together and built transition time between rooms into the plan, so a program isn’t sprinting from the choir room to the band room with no minutes to spare. Nobody is double-booked.

Unified registrationDirector clusteringAccompanist claiming
9:15AM

A performance ends. The rating is already posted.

The judge scores on the rubric from their device, and the moment they submit, the rating is live — the director sees Superior as soon as the judge is finished typing. Written comments and recorded voice feedback attach to the performance automatically. Nothing to collect between rooms, nothing to key in later.

11:30AM

A director asks to move a slot. You drag it.

The visual scheduler is a drag-and-drop tile grid with a bank sidebar — auto-generate, balance rooms, fill gaps. Director clustering keeps a school’s performances close together, and travel-aware scheduling keeps far-away programs off the 8 AM block.

2:15PM

You see every room without leaving the office.

Live monitoring shows per-room, per-judge completion bars with a timestamped audit trail, refreshing every 30 seconds. A judge’s device drops Wi-Fi? The retry queue holds the ratings and submits when it’s back — nothing is lost.

Awards checkout in minutes, not hours.

As ratings post, the admin portal builds the checkout list for you: every school with its rating counts and exactly how many medals and plaques to hand over. Pull each school up at the awards table, hand off their awards, and tap Checked out — the line keeps moving instead of stalling while someone counts slips. Certificates print in landscape with the administrator’s signature, and directors pull their comment sheets from their own portal.

Everything you might be wondering

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Every portal — judge, director, admin, and registration — is fully responsive. Judges typically score on iPads or laptops, but phones work fine in a pinch. Directors can check results from their phone immediately after release. No app download required — it runs in any browser.

What happens if the internet goes down during the event?

The judge portal has a built-in retry queue. If a submission fails due to connectivity, it saves the score locally and shows a "Retry Now" button at the top of the queue. Judges can continue scoring — nothing is lost. When connectivity returns, they tap Retry and all pending scores submit. We also recommend printing blind schedule packets as backup so judges can work on paper if needed.

Can multiple judges score the same room at the same time?

Absolutely — that's how most auditions work. Each judge logs in independently, sees the same blind queue, and submits their own scores. The system tracks each judge separately, averages scores across judges per category, and the admin can see a full audit trail showing every judge's individual scores with timestamps. If a judge accidentally submits twice, the system updates rather than duplicates.

How do directors get their results?

Each director creates an account when they register. After the admin releases results, directors log into the Director Portal and see everything: their schedule, final ratings, written comments, audio commentary from judges, and printable certificates. They can also print comment sheets for each student. Results can be emailed directly from the admin panel with one click.

Is student data secure?

Yes. Student data is kept private and secure, and every portal requires a login. Judges see audition numbers only during blind auditions, never student names. Directors can only see their own school's results. The admin controls when results are released, and can retract them at any time.

Can I run both a festival and auditions?

Yes — that's what makes this platform different. The registration portal handles both festival entries (solos, ensembles, large groups with I-V ratings) and audition entries (blind rubric scoring for honor bands, choirs, and orchestras). Directors register through one portal. You manage everything from one admin dashboard. No need to juggle two different systems.

What if I need to run High School and Junior High at the same time?

Built-in division support. Create a "High School" division (grades 9-12) and "Junior High" division (grades 7-8) inside the same event. Students auto-sort by grade. Rooms, scheduling, scoring, and rostering all filter by division. Each division gets its own roster configuration with independent band counts, instrumentation, and alternates. Judges don't see divisions — they just score who's in their room.
