Welcome, internet peruser, to the show assistant section page!

Don’t play an instrument? Play an instrument? We’re the section for you!

We show assistants are a small but powerful section! Armed with duct tape and a homemade catapult, we help make the magic behind any and every MOB show. By day, we write scripts, and by night, we galivant with props and costumes. (Or vice versa, depending on our mood.)

Watch any video of the MOB, and you’ll see MOBsters without instruments – that’s us! As a result, we are a section unique to the MOB. No where else will you find a place quite like this one. A marching band with a writing team?? A prop crew?? And actors?? All as one!

And when we’re not running all around the field or plotting our newest show, we dance in the stands with our sister section, the Stringatronics, and wield kazoos.

In fact, we’ve become so skillful and brilliant with our kazoos that our director Chuck Throckmorton affectionately (definitely affectionately) calls us and the Strings the “angry hornet section.” We also join our Drum Major and minor in dancing to Louie Louie! We welcome anyone and everyone! We’d love to meet you and show you the ropes of show assisting. There’s something for everyone in this section, whether you like writing, building, dancing, acting, or even just vibing. See you soon!
