Behind every performance is a great deal of work that audiences rarely see. Our volunteer musicians transport, unload, set up, and pack away instruments, percussion equipment, music stands, chairs, sound equipment, and other supplies for every concert.

For years, we've relied on an aging 5 × 9-foot equipment trailer.  For the past few years, our Euphonium player, Wayne Westfield, has employed his creativity, mechanical talents, practical knowledge along with his commitment of time and personal resources to keep it going. 

 

As our needs have grown, the trailer has become too small, making loading and unloading increasingly difficult and limiting our ability to organize and protect our equipment. We need a safer, more efficient way to get our equipment to the performances our community enjoys.

 

A New Trailer for a New Century

As we begin our second century of performing, we're excited to announce that we've selected a custom-built 7 × 14-foot enclosed trailer through Trailer Corner in Taylor, Pennsylvania, to be manufactured in Mountain Top, Pennsylvania.  Featuring our signature red finish, the new trailer will provide more room, improved lighting, safer loading access, and better equipment storage and protection.

These improvements will ease the physical demands on our volunteers, better protect the equipment we depend on, and allow us to focus more of our energy on what brings us together: sharing live music with our community. 

Become Part of Our Second Century

We've secured financing to move this important project forward, and generous band members have already stepped up with early contributions. Your support will help us pay down the financing, reduce associated costs, and preserve the band's resources for bringing free music to our community. Our fundraising campaign is about more than a trailer. It's about preserving a musical tradition that has brought generations of families, friends, and neighbors together.
