Band concerts started back in 1991 at the original bandstand shown above.  The concert format included big band classics, traditional concert band repertoire, marches and patriotic tunes.  The famous children's balloon march got the audience to their feet to parade around the Libbey Park walkway with a sea of colorful balloons to the sound of a march medley.  Concerts became popular with  all ages and were widely attended by both locals and visitors alike.  The original bandstand was soon overflowing with volunteer musicians.  As interest in performing with the band increased, fundraising began to construct a new larger bandstand that would hopefully hold all the musicians.  In the late 90's a new bandstand was constructed, with the design help of a local architecture firm.  The Ojai Bandstand was constructed and still stands today in Libbey Park.

Sara and Bob Beebe were intensely involved in the band planning and organization from the beginning until the mid 2000's when they had to take a slight step back to enjoy retirement and grandchildren.  They were still involved, but in a more limited capacity.  At that time the director (Joe Boccali) began looking for assistance  to help with the  planning and organizing portion.  There were balloons to fill, popcorn to make, a music library to tend to and various other tasks beyond the directing of music.  After starting the season with his own family stepping in to fill those shoes, the Ojai Rotary West offered to assist.  They had a team of volunteers with the skills and desire to help the Ojai Band continue to thrive.  They have sponsored the Ojai Band since, and provide invaluable support to the band.

In 2021 with a global pandemic on the move, the Ojai Band moved their concerts from the crowded bandstand area to the Libbey Park Bowl; a much larger venue with plenty of space for social distancing.  The performers and guests enjoyed the upgraded size and seating of the new venue.  The summer Ojai Band concerts have been taking place in the bowl since that season.
