Equipment & Truck

Current Chairpeople - equipment@ojrbandmpo.com

An essential part of a successful marching band season is the truck and equipment needed to pull off the amazing shows. There are several ways that you can share your time and talents. 

Trailer Towing (Trailer Caddies):
It takes a lot to move our band’s instruments, props and equipment from event to event each week. We rely heavily on our parent volunteers that can help tow our two primary trailers: 20’ft red trailer w/ 8,000lbs max weight capacity (*requires vehicle with trailer brake controllers) and 14’ white trailer w/ 3,000lbs max weight. The time requested is primarily during Marching Band Season (Sept/Nov). If you love to move stuff and like looking cool pulling our band trailers around, please volunteer!

Prop Crew:

The prop crew is looking for people with carpentry skills and/or are mechanically inclined that are willing to assist with building and repairing props. This would primarily be needed in July and August.

Field Crew:

Members of this group help to load and transport the band instruments, sound equipment, props, and drum major stands to away games and cavalcades.They also help to move band instruments, sound equipment, props, and drum major stands at home games. New volunteers are always needed and appreciated.

Equipment Core Team:

This is a small dedicated team of individuals that contribute to the coordination of equipment topics throughout the year.
