Event Messages Only Access
Your Access as a Event Messages Only Member
As a Event Messages Only member, your role is to stay informed about group activities without accessing performance details. This guide explains what you can see and why.
Your Role
Event Messages Only membership is designed for people who support the group but don't need to see performance feedback. This typically includes:
- Chaperones
- Band boosters
- Parent volunteers
- Equipment managers
- Transportation coordinators
You stay in the loop on logistics and announcements without being overwhelmed by performance data.
What You Receive
All Group Notifications
You receive every notification sent to the group, including:
- Schedule updates and changes
- Event announcements
- Important group communications
- General announcements
Public Recaps
When recaps are released publicly (to everyone, not just the group), you can view them.
What You Cannot Access
| Feature | Status |
|---|---|
| Scores and commentary | Not available |
| Score summaries | Not available |
| Videos | Not available |
| Resources | Not available |
| Group-only recaps | Not available |
When you visit restricted areas, you'll see a message indicating that access is limited based on your member type.
Why These Restrictions?
Performance feedback—scores, commentary, and videos—is typically intended for instructors, coaches, and performers. By separating notification access from content access, the system ensures:
- You get the logistics information you need
- Performance details stay with the people who need them
- You aren't overwhelmed with data that isn't relevant to your role
Need Different Access?
If your role has changed and you now need access to performance content, contact your group admin. They can change your member type to:
- Staff Member — Full access to all content
- Competitor — Access to specific feedback chosen by your admin
Staying Connected
Even without content access, you're a valuable part of the group. Your notification access ensures you can:
- Know when and where events are happening
- Stay updated on schedule changes
- Receive important group announcements
- Coordinate logistics with the rest of the team
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I see any scores or videos?

Talk to your group admin. If appropriate, they can change you to a different member type.
