Who can play this gig?

Staffing for a band that is never the same band twice. Every chair, every night, and the reason behind every no.

A gig's board in SuperBandMan: eleven chairs filled, and for the Vox 1 chair, three players who can take it and two refused with the reason.

Free Cleared Current = who you can call.

Free

No overlapping gig, no blackout, and enough road time between venues.

Cleared

Holds the chair the gig is asking for. Second tenor, sub drums, music director.

Current

Knows these arrangements, with no practice flag standing against them.

The list for one chair: three players marked Not known busy, two marked Refused because they are already on this gig.

The refusal is the feature.

Calendars can tell you Tuesday is open. They cannot tell you who in the whole pool is free that night, holds the empty chair, and knows the book. SuperBandMan names everyone who can't, at the moment you book, and says why.

Every gig ahead, open chairs named.

The war room sorts the season by what needs you. Held, covered, or short a bass player in six days.

The war room: thirteen gigs ahead, each with its status and a row of chair codes, open chairs outlined in red.

Booked at a desk. Played in a parking lot.

Fill chairs weeks out on a laptop. Swap a sick drummer one-handed from backstage. Same console, both first-class.

The dashboard: this week's days, the next gig with three chairs that need somebody, and a list of what needs you.
The week, and what needs you today.

  1. The lineup is an output.

    Every screen answers who can play before it answers anything else.

  2. Unknown is not free.

    A filled chair reads Asked until a person confirms it. Nothing claims a fact nobody checked.

  3. Every edit is signed.

    The gig dossier records the day and the name behind every change, and every swap asks why.

  4. Musicians never sign in.

    Players get a call sheet as a link. The login is for the people doing the booking.

Your band, fully staffed.

SuperBandMan runs today for one working band out of Kansas City. New consoles open by invitation, each at an address of its own.
