The Franklin Central Band's activities are only possible with the involvement of parent volunteers.  Franklin Central Band parents have a proud tradition of volunteerism.  It's a great way to be part of the program and spend some extra time with your kids!

Hosted Events

Hosting competitions at Franklin Central supplies 10 - 15% of our budget.  This funding keeps our band fees stable and impacts every band and guard family.  Our school is a choice hosting location because of the welcoming and helpful environment created by our volunteers, and also for our professionalism and preparedness.  We set an example of competition hosting that is admired across Indiana and beyond.

2021 Volunteer Commitment
In 2021, a volunteer commitment (and optional buyout) for our hosted events was added to the band and guard contracts.  Please see the Sign Up section below to select your slots for the 2021-2022 school year.

Additional Volunteer Opportunities

We also have additional opportunities for you to volunteer for things such as chaperoning, props, spirit, uniforms, media, fundraisers.

Current opportunities for the 2021-2022 school year are linked below:
