Oakmont Field Festival
The Oakmont High School Royal Blue Regiments hosts a field show festival that brings in bands from all over the Northern California region. Our Field Festival was amazing last year! Our success would not have been possible without so many adult and student volunteers.
This year the Oakmont Field Festival is on Saturday, October 25th. There are lots of spots throughout the day available in all areas. All our spots need to be filled in order for our event to be the best it can be so please sign up to volunteer and encourage your friends, family, or students to do the same.
All adult volunteers receive free admission to the festival.

Our performance season is almost here! In order for our season to be a success we need your help and support at every event. Please note: Times are placeholders and will be updated as information becomes available.
Trailers: For each event we will need volunteers to drive the trailers from Oakmont to the event and back home again.
Pit Crew: Help Bring instruments, sound equipment and Props to and onto the field, and back again. Please note that there will be a mandatory training session prior to Oct 5th to learn how to quickly yet safely move equipment onto and off the field.
Food Committee: Help prepare and serve food (snack and meals).
Floater/Misc: Want to help but don't know where to sign up or how? Sign up here and we will connect with you the day of the event to help fill in where needed. Or add a comment on an area you would fill not otherwise specified, including photography, videography, or uniform assistance.
Many of these spots do not overlap so feel free to sign up for multiple slots. For example, if you plan on being around all day you could load, drive a trailer, unload, do pit crew, reload the trailer, and then drive it back. Or if you plan to be around just for your students’ performance pit crew and reloading the trailer are perfect spots for you.
If you are unable to make the event days, but still want to help our students we will be sending out a separate donation signup for the events. Thank you for helping make the Oakmont Marching band season a success!
