St. Augustine, FL (April 10, 2025) - CutTime, LLC, a leading provider of fine arts program management software, announces a strategic partnership with Director’s Assistant, a premiere supplier of uniforms, accessories, and equipment to bands, color guard, choirs, and orchestras around the world. School districts, independent schools, and community-based fine arts programs seeking new solutions for sourcing and managing their attire and equipment will benefit from enhanced digital visibility for their new inventory from CutTime and Director’s Assistant.

Programs making first-time purchases with Director’s Assistant are eligible to receive a one-year complimentary all-access license to CutTime. New subscribers will be able to view and manage their most recent inventory items purchased with Director’s Assistant, with no additional data importing. They will also gain access to Simple Raise, an eCommerce platform specifically designed to support online fundraising, store and event ticketing sales for fine arts education programs. Simple Raise is fully integrated with CutTime, making the oversight across all administrative tasks even more efficient and effective for teachers, boosters, and their members.

With the growing teaching and performance demands on band, choir, and orchestra educators, maintaining world-class attire and equipment with less administrative overhead is essential. The partnership between Director’s Assistant and CutTime enables school districts and community organizations to manage their inventory assets with greater transparency and ensure their capital investments are being maximized.

Over the past decade, Director’s Assistant has emerged as an innovative supplier for marching bands, color guard, drill teams, and concert players to level up their performances,” said Corey Black, CEO of CutTime. “We are excited to welcome Chris and his team as the newest members of the CutTime Market. Our partnership will provide enriched access to innovative tools and resources to equip administrators, educators, boosters, and families so they can focus more on helping students grow their skills with incredible artistic pride and confidence.”
Fine arts education programs provide a unique artistic contribution to our communities, thus demand for high caliber performances and shows has never been higher,” said Chris Walls, CEO of Director’s Assistant. “Directors are increasingly being asked to deliver more from their fine arts education programs, but struggle with many burdensome administrative duties that drain their creativity. By joining forces with CutTime’s beautifully intuitive platform, together we can make investing in world-class attire and equipment more optimal for ongoing school and community fine arts program growth."

New Director’s Assistant and CutTime customers will receive their CutTime administrator account credentials along with personalized guidance for accessing their recently purchased attire and equipment inventory data and assigning items to their members.
