Managing a band is a challenge similar to managing a small or medium-sized enterprise. A type
of band particularly difficult to manage is a telephone band that does not have a fixed line-up
of musicians. Together the musicians form a virtual organisation. Every participant in the
organisation brings in a certain set of skills has specific business goals and has to bear
some risks. The major findings include a thorough documentation of activities involved in
managing a medium-sized telephone band which are explained in more detail by modelling the
processes. Emphasising the use of information and communication technologies the results
provide a chronological sequence of activities that may generally be used for band and event
management.
