The Communicate section is your ensemble's megaphone.
Messages
- Go to Communicate → New Message.
- Pick your recipients: all members, specific sections, individual members, a saved message group, patrons, or everyone.
- Write your subject and body, attach files if needed, and optionally link the message to an event.
- Send now, schedule for later, or post to the in-app message board only (no emails).
Sent messages appear on the member portal message board, so nothing gets lost in inboxes. You can pin important announcements and mark messages urgent.
Polls
Polls collect structured answers: concert date preferences, uniform votes, potluck signups.
- Go to Communicate → New Poll.
- Add questions: single choice, multiple choice, or free text.
- Choose the audience (all members or a message group) and publish. Members are emailed a link and can respond from their portal.
- Watch results roll in live; optionally share results with members.
Templates
Save messages you send often (rehearsal reminders, concert-week logistics) as templates to reuse with one click.
