From QR‑code PDFs to a clean, mobile‑first concert program that lets every audience member read the show without squinting.
The Best One in Your Row is a small web application built for high‑school band directors who need a modern, paper‑free concert program. The tool replaces the old QR‑linked PDF workflow, where parents and grandparents struggle to read tiny, zoom‑dependent documents with a clean, mobile‑first interface that displays the program in a scroll‑friendly layout optimized for any phone screen. The app lets patrons simply scan a QR code at the venue to access a readable program, while directors can quickly assemble and publish concert line‑ups from their computers, dramatically improving the audience experience and eliminating the need for printed programs.
Guerrilla Testing:
Mobile (app)
Layout is clear and flow feels straightforward.
Users can’t easily spot “Wind Ensemble” → add genre tags or clearer category names.
No obvious exit/home button → add a permanent exit icon.
Calendar icon is low‑contrast → increase button contrast or start on calendar?
Program page doesn’t indicate it’s in performance order → label it explicitly.
Desktop (director)
Form wording is too generic (“piece”), users unfamiliar with band terms had more trouble
Non‑clickable placeholders caused confusion
Title and composer appear identical in the review → differentiate typographically or with icons.
Users expect a “Publish” confirmation → implement a success popup.
Hamburger menu leads nowhere → either wire it to a functional menu or replace it with a visible navigation bar.
