PROFESSIONAL PARADE BAND FOR HIRE
The Oompa Meisters are a veteran-owned parade brass band based in Springfield, Massachusetts. Hire 4–8 professional musicians who march or stroll, bringing patriotic favorites, traditional marches, and New Orleans brass to civic and holiday parades across New England and New York.
Contact bandleader Adam Lyon with your parade date and town to start. Add report and step-off times, route length, parking, and any required music as plans take shape. We recommend a lineup for your route and budget and coordinate with your parade contact.
BUILT FOR THE MOMENT
A parade band has to sound good, move well, and make the organizer’s job easier.
Acoustic brass and drums carry down the route without tying the band to a float, stage, or power source.
Choose patriotic, traditional, Bavarian, holiday, pop, or New Orleans-style music—or let us shape a balanced route set.
We recommend the right 4–8 musician configuration based on route length, crowd size, musical needs, travel, and budget.
TRUSTED BY PARADE ORGANIZERS
The Oompa Meisters have brought mobile brass to major civic and heritage events throughout the Northeast.
See the band in Holyoke’s 2026 parade coverage, named as a returning act by the Sudbury Chamber of Commerce, and listed in Sound Shore’s 2025 parade lineup.
“Every report from our audience says YOU ARE GREAT! Thank you for participating in the Wellesley Veterans Parade.”

Yes. Start with your date, parade name, and town or city. Send report and step-off times, estimated route length, expected finish, and any music or attire requirements when available. We can discuss options while you plan; final pricing and availability depend on the confirmed assignment.
Pricing depends on the number of musicians, travel, schedule, route demands, and repertoire. Share your event details and budget if you have one. Adam will reply with availability and suitable lineup options; requesting a quote does not commit you to a booking.
