Moving a Band

Edmond's Own Bulldog Band

A big THANK YOU! to everyone who helped with issuing uniforms and providing water the first week of school. Your assistance made a difference!

Thanks to everyone who has signed up to work consessions for this week's game! We still have slots open for upcoming games!

What it takes to move this band

Taking a marching band the size of ours to contests requires enormous amounts of time, effort, money, food and equipment. So, here is a rough idea of what's involved:

Five full size school buses or charter buses
Adult sponsors for each bus
Large cargo truck for pit equipment & support
Enclosed trailer for percussion / Drumline equipment
Enclosed trailer for 230 uniforms
Enclosed trailer for food and cooking supplies (tables, water, tent, etc)
Two open utility trailers for transporting Gator, generators and other misc equipment (Gator is used on site for transporting heavier equipment at contest)
Support vehicles for pulling trailers
Giant tent for meal preparations
Numerous large propane stoves for meal preparations
Food for 500 meals PER contest (usually two meals for the day)
Volunteers for assisting with uniforms and pluming
Volunteers to assist with water/drinks to/from competition site while marching
Volunteers for meal preparation and serving
Volunteers for moving contest equipment

That's for just one weekend competition! We usually attend four competitions during September and October so your help is greatly needed!

Football games require:

Large cargo truck for pit equipment & support

Enclosed trailer for percussion / Drumline equipment

Enclosed trailer for 230 uniforms

Support vehicles for pulling trailers

Volunteers for assisting with uniforms and pluming

Volunteers to assist with water/drinks after half-time performance

Volunteers for moving contest equipment

Volunteers to work the consession stands (the band makes money on consessions!)
