Give yourself
One Point
★ For each of these ★You've done as a musician
Thirty moments every working musician collects sooner or later — the dream stages, the long drives, and the nights everything went sideways. Tap each one you've lived. The score adds itself up as you go. Honor system — musician rules.
Your score: 0 / 30
The stage is waiting…
Every legend on this list started at zero. Tap the ones you've done up above and watch your musician story add up.
Point 31: Play it forward
Here's the point that doesn't just go on your scorecard. Walk the Beat is a volunteer-run nonprofit that builds community through music — free street festivals, and through Repeat the Beat, instruments and lessons placed in the hands of young musicians, plus funding for local school music programs.
Played a benefit before? Then you already know the feeling. The next Walk the Beat Grand Haven festival is August 14, 2027 — dozens of bands, one day, all free — and there's a stage, a volunteer shift, or a kid's first instrument with your name on it.
Musicians, volunteers, and instrument donors all start with the same step: say hello.
The Walk-Through start here, end up on stage
Five stops, one path — this page and Walk the Beat's pages point at each other, so you can start anywhere and keep tapping forward. The map follows you: it marks where you are as your score climbs.
-
Stop 1 · Start — you land on the gameyou are here
However you got here — a post, a tag from a bandmate, a code on a poster at a show — this scorecard is the front door.
-
1–30
Stop 2 · Play — tap what you've livedyou are here
Thirty moments, three sets: the stages, the grind, the war stories. Every tap is a point, and the scoreboard rides along at the top of the page while you play.
-
Stop 3 · Your score — the revealyou are here
Your total lands on a rank, from Open-Mic Rookie to Living Legend. Copy your result, paste it where your bandmates hang out, and tag the next player — that's how the next musician finds Stop 1.
-
Stop 4 · Point 31 — play it forwardyou are here
The one point that isn't about your past. It's the mission: free festivals, and instruments and lessons for young musicians through Repeat the Beat.
-
Stop 5 · Tap through — join the Beatsay hello — that's the whole onboarding
Four doors, all open. The Grand Haven page is home base for the local festival, walkthebeat.store is where you join the Beat, the Directors' Briefing is the deeper door — playing, volunteering, or sponsoring, in detail — and one email to Becky starts the conversation about a stage, a volunteer shift, or a kid's first instrument.
And the loop closes itself: the next festival puts this game in front of a whole new crowd — and every new player starts back at Stop 1. ♪
