Every feature your program needs
BandXP.Live is a complete achievement and progress tracking system designed specifically for band, choir, and orchestra directors.
You decide what students see.
Track everything your students pass off. Then choose, skill by skill, what becomes a contest they compete in — and what stays private data just for you.
Silent Tracking
Teacher-only. Students never see it.
Track TEKS standards, fundamentals, remedial work, and anything you need documented but don't need to gamify. It lives in your records — not on any leaderboard, not on any student's screen.
Use it for: state standards, sight-reading benchmarks, the skills you're assessing but don't want to turn into a competition.
Student Contests
Visible. Competitive. Motivating.
Turn any skill into a contest students can see. Live leaderboards, medals, real-time standings — the stuff that makes a kid practice their scales to climb past their stand partner.
Use it for: scales, the pieces for contest, anything where a little competition lights a fire.
Every skill is one or the other — your call, every time. Build a contest privately, then flip it live when you're ready. Students only ever see what you choose to show them.
The data follows the student. For years.
Every skill a student passes off stays with them — not just this semester, but every year they're in your program. A 6th grader's progress is still there when they're in 8th. A freshman's scales are still there senior year. Nothing resets in August.
Track a student from their first day in 6th grade through 8th. When they walk in for a new year, you already know exactly what they've passed off — no rebuilding, no guessing, no starting over.
Follow students from freshman auditions through senior year, across every ensemble they play in. Four years of progress in one place, so you always know where each player stands.
Paper starts over every August. Spreadsheets get lost between directors. BandXP remembers — so you don't have to.

Running a whole district? There's a layer for that.
Most directors run one program. But if you're a fine arts coordinator or district director overseeing multiple campuses, BandXP has a layer built for you — one view across every school, without taking the day-to-day away from your campus directors.
District
Fine arts coordinator / district director
See all campuses · Run cross-campus contests · View district-wide medal totals
Campus
Head director (admin) + scorers
Full control of their program
Head director — admin
Manages events, roster, and staff

Student
Student.HQ
View only — see their own scorecard and the leaderboard. Nothing else.
District-wide view
See every campus on one dashboard — medal totals, active contests, which programs are live. The whole district at a glance, no asking each director for a report.
Cross-campus contests
Put all your middle schools — or all your high schools — on the same leaderboard. Run a district-wide scale-off or sight-reading challenge across every program at once.
Campus directors stay in control
You get the district view; they keep their program. Invite a campus, let its director run the day-to-day, and see across all of them without stepping on anyone's toes.
One district, every campus, every student — in one place. District pricing is custom; reach out and we'll set you up.
