The app for carnival clubs and groups

In short
Gumb is an app for carnival clubs, cliques, guards and Guggenmusik bands. Rehearsals, float building and meetings are planned across the year as events, parades and performances during carnival get their own event type, and members respond by the response deadline. Who marches in a parade is marked with a star, and jobs such as float building, bar or till become tasks right on the event. Every clique or guard plans in its own group scheduler.

What Guggenmusik bands and clubs say
4.7/54.7 out of 5 stars271 ratings across both platforms25K+ users
We use Gumb in our Guggenmusik band and used TPB for quite some time before that. I think it is great. Very clear and runs stably so far. Even when there are problems with the software, payment etc., the support is very good. I have even had a Zoom meeting with the boss (Dominik) himself, where he asked us specifically how we use Gumb, what we need it for and above all where we still see room for improvement or what could be changed
We tried out various apps in our club and Gumb covers our needs best! If you have questions, support helps right away. The app is constantly being improved and new, very useful features keep being added.
The very best app for planning our club, congratulations

FAQ: the app for carnival clubs
How do I keep track of every performance during carnival week?
Every parade and performance is its own event with its own event type. Members respond per event, and you see live who is where.
How do I organize float building?
Set up the building sessions as a series and hand out jobs as tasks on the event. Under Statistics you later export who came to building how often.
How do I staff the bar and till at our ball?
Create tasks such as bar, till or cloakroom and turn them on for the event. Members sign up themselves, or admins assign them.
How do I mark who marches in the parade?
With the star. Admins set it as a call-up for the event, and the member sees it. If you want, Gumb reminds only those marked.
Can cliques and guards plan separately?
Yes. Every group gets its own group scheduler, and group events are only visible to its members. Club events for everyone sit in the shared calendar.
How do I share parade plans and sheet music?
Put them right on the event or in the group's folder. Files can be up to 50 MB each, and owners, admins and group leaders upload them.
How do parents sign children up for the children's parade?
Every child has their own account. Parents log in with the same credentials and respond for the parade. Admins can create children's accounts upfront.
