  • We are having weekly Thursday night Zoom Meetings just for fun, as log as interest lasts. Links and more info are in the Band App
  • I am in need of historical band photos for summer promos – I will have an upload area, more instructions, and more info in the Band App (Please do not email me photos)
  • All fall rehearsal and Old Bills updates will be in the band app.

PS – If you were curious as to why I we use the band app, and I have several people ask, and not this method (band newsletter) for all communications read on…

Why not use the newsletter program (this)  for ALL band comms?

  • It’s a marketing app made for newsletters
    • It gets spammed from some peoples accounts (some members don’t get the emails)
    • It is complicated  and time consuming
    • It has over 20 steps to compose and send.
  • The emails take hours and sometimes a full day to process though the queue
  • I have to babysit the Q
  • The JHCBand email it comes from is blocked by government sites.  (some members can’t get the emails)
  • I’m the only one who can use it
  • The formatting tools are very hard to use and make the emails look readable.
  • All questions get routed through me

Why not send band comms from my personal account?

  • Mass mails like our band comms are called SPAM, and could get me in trouble with my ISP and/or email provider
  • Having one person the keeper of the email list on their private computer in an organization it a bad idea.
  • I would have to keep up on spamming regs and add disclaimer to my emails.
  • I’m the only one who can send emails
  • All questions get routed through me

Why not set up google or yahoo groups like before?

  • It doesn’t work like before  and won’t work for us
  • Not reliable
  • No automation that works well

Why not set up google or yahoo email?

  • Mass mails like our band comms are called SPAM, and our account could get shut down.
  • No automation

Why I use the band app

  • Anyone can post
  • Anyone can use (Many different ways to access)
  • Question and answers are super easy
  • Lots of automation
  • Lots of options and tools
  • Members can control how and what they see
  • Integrates with our existing google calendar
  • Someone else does the back end programing
  • It’s free
  • I don’t have to keep up on spamming regs

The band app’s notifications default to all, but you can change that.

The prob with MAC OS users band app password not being recognized has been fixed.
