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 26th. 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. If you are interested in becoming a lead for a certain section, please sign up here. We ask that leads be 19 years of age, or older.
All adult volunteers receive free admission to the festival.
