Marching bands & color guard
Show shirts without the booster room full of boxes.
Last updated:
Brikl runs on-demand merch stores for marching bands and color guard. Parents and grandparents buy this season's show shirt and section gear directly, each item is made per order and shipped to them, and a set-aside on every sale goes to the program. Boosters stop counting sizes and handing out boxes at rehearsal.
What your store looks like
A branded storefront on your own web address, live in ten seconds with Turbo Store. Your logo, your colors, your products — and every order produced on demand and shipped to the buyer.

The show shirt size guess.
You order for the whole band and their families in August, and find out in November which sizes you got wrong.
A volunteer is the warehouse.
One booster parent ends up with the spreadsheet, the checks and the garage full of cartons.
Band camp is already expensive.
Every shirt the boosters front is cash the program could have spent on the season.
Grandparents can't get anything.
Once the order closes, the relatives who drove to finals have no way to buy a shirt.
What you sell
Picks from Brikl’s marketplace of 8,000+ decorated products — all produced on demand.
How they order
Parents open the store from the booster email, pick the show shirt and a size, and add a student's name or section where you've allowed it. Each order is produced and shipped to their home, so nothing gets handed out at rehearsal.
Setting it up
Add the program logo.
Upload the band or guard mark once, along with this year's show art. Brikl prepares both for decoration.
Build the season's lineup.
Add the show shirt, section hoodies and parent gear. Give drumline, guard and pit their own item if each section wants one.
Turn on names and sections.
Choose which items take a name, a section or a year. Families enter them at checkout, so no one retypes a list.
Send it to the booster list.
Share one link before band camp and again before finals. Orders go to production on their own.
When people order
Band camp.
New members and their parents order together while the excitement is high, and nobody has to collect sizes on the first day.
Show reveal.
The new design goes live the night you announce it. Nothing has been printed yet, so a late change to the art costs nothing.
Competition season.
Allow 7-10 business days to door, and tell parents the date to order by if they want it for a particular competition.
Winter guard and banquet.
Add indoor season designs and senior gifts when you need them. Last fall's show shirt can stay up for the grandparents.
Fundraising
A set-aside on every shirt
Add a percentage or a fixed amount to any item and it applies to each order. Supporters can also add a donation at checkout, so a grandparent can give to the program while they buy a hoodie.
3.5% per transaction. Nothing else.
No platform setup fee, no subscription, no inventory. You only pay when you make a sale.

Sticker prices here are illustrative. The boosters set their own. The 3.5% is Brikl's actual fee.
- Show hoodie listed at
- $44.00
- Set-aside to the program
- $8.00
- Brikl's fee (3.5%)
- $1.54
The program earns its set-aside on each hoodie, and the money the boosters would have tied up in stock stays available for the season. The rest of the price covers the product, its decoration and delivery to the family.
