TAP ID
Tap ID allows directors to see the performer labels that your students have selected. Simply tap on a performer's dot while viewing the drill to see their name and photo. Multiple students can select a single performer label so directors can easily see and manage alternates, shadows, and primary performers.

CALENDAR + ATTENDANCE
See your full rehearsal and performance schedule, check-in to events, and track attendance throughout the season.

Here's how it works:
1. Director syncs a Google Calendar with UDBapp Pro
2. Students are invited to the events (rehearsal, bus check-in, performances, etc.)
3. Geofence marks check-in area
4. Students must be within the geofence boundaries and have UDBapp Pro open to check-in
4. Live updated roster shows you who is Absent, Present, or Tardy
5. Export timestamped data to a spreadsheet to easily organize student attendance records

OFFLINE MODE
Offline mode allows a director to restrict access to Ultimate Drill Book if selected users are connected to the internet. If not activated, all users will be able to access Ultimate Drill Book even if connected to a WiFi or cellular connection.

Ratings and reviews

I'm a freshman in college who spent all of high school in front ensemble so as someone who’s had to essentially start from scratch alongside extremely experienced peers, this app has made it sooo much easier to just jump right in with the rest of the band and follow along. I was so stressed about having to learn to march alongside learning a whole new instrument but so far im only four weeks in and I've already been able to make it through about 3/4ths of our show thanks to this app.

I am a freshman and it is my first year marching, this app is great. It makes it just so intuitive to set drill. I 100% recommend. ALTHOUGH, sometimes it can be laggy, but only when running the show in real time, and 90% of the time I'm looking at the individual pages. (I also just have a slow phone lol so this may not effect you.)

I am a freshman and I find this app very very convenient. I can't imagine having to actually find my dot on paper lol. There was one problem I had where I chose the wrong performer at first so I had to change it, but after I corrected it it still gave me the directions on top for the performer I chose beforehand. I just exited it and came back and it was fine but I thought I would mention it.
