Once, at the start of the tour
Build a tour template
Create one gig with the canonical positions. Save as template. Don’t bake in the venue or time — those vary per show.
Build per-leg call lists
If the lineup differs by leg, create Tour A-Team — Leg 1 and Tour A-Team — Leg 2. Include the priority order — first-call up top.
Stamp out the show dates
From the template, duplicate one gig per show. Fill in venue and time. Save each as draft.
Per show, as things shift
Regular can't make one show

Open the gig → click their name on the position → Replace → pick from the B-team call list. The original invitation is revoked; the sub gets a fresh one. Gig notes still apply.
You don't know yet who can sub
You don't know yet who can sub
Send an availability request for that date to a filtered list (e.g., position = Drums, call list = Tour B-Team). Book whoever responds first from the response view. See Crew calendar workflows.
A whole leg's drummer changes
A whole leg's drummer changes
Edit the Tour A-Team — Leg 2 call list to swap the drummer. Re-apply the call list to leg 2 gigs — Soundcheck only updates positions where the member changed.
Time / venue change for one show
Time / venue change for one show
Edit the gig. Confirmed members get a push notifying them. They keep their booking unless the change is significant (different day or city), in which case Soundcheck prompts you to re-confirm.
Payouts that vary by leg
Set the performance fee on each gig, not on the template. Two patterns:- Leg-uniform fees: After bulk-applying a call list, multi-select that leg’s gigs → Set fee → enter once.
- Per-show fees: Set on each gig page when you create it.
Tour-wide communication
Pick one:- Per-gig threads — clean per-show context. Use when most discussion is show-specific.
- DM group thread — one persistent thread for all touring members. Use when most discussion is about the tour overall (bus times, hotel info, day-off plans).
Reporting
After the tour:- Dashboard → filter to the date range — counts, total fees, by-member rollup.
- Per-member view → who played which shows — useful for payroll and 1099s.
- Payments → status per member — sent, pending, failed.
