“We have so many props and instruments now that we have out-grown the box truck that we use,” she said. “We have a small trailer that we get band parents with vans to help pull, and we usually end up filling their van, too.
“It’s been a scramble lately to get all the equipment where it needs to be.”
The theme of the event is “Savin’ for a Semi: Go Big or Go Home.”
Davis said that they have found a trailer already for a good price, $7,800.
“We still have to figure out a way to get a cab to pull it,” she said. “Renting a cab could be expensive, but we band parents with connections to the trucking industry, so we should be able to find a good deal.”
