JARVIS INDUSTRIES INC

Arts Entertainment and Leisure > Musical Instruments

In 1984 Darrell Jarvis, a homebuilder at the time, came up with the idea to build a lightweight podium for the drum majors to use. His son was in the Westfield High School Marching Band and the Jarvis’ were active in the Booster Club. Mr. Jarvis saw the need to eliminate the plywood boxes being used at that time.

The first podium built was of wood. However, Mr. Jarvis had previously worked in the aircraft industry and started thinking about using aluminum.

After much searching and trials, a podium was presented to a Spring School for trial and they liked it so much that the other Spring School requested one. The Music Director for Spring ISD suggested that Mr. Jarvis take the product to TBA in San Antonio. This was done in July of 1986 and production started in Mr. Jarvis’ garage.
