Volunteers

The Franklin Central Band's activities are only possible with the involvement of parent volunteers.  The band agreement states that every band family must participate in at least one event every year.  

Also, be aware the Franklin Central Band parents have a proud tradition of volunteerism.  There may not be enough volunteer positions available for all parents.  It's suggested that you sign up early to be included.

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.  It is in everyone's benefit to volunteer when the opportunities are communicated.  Our school is a choice hosting location because of welcoming and helpful environment created by our volunteers and also for our professionalism and preparedness.  We set an example of how of competition hosting that is admired in Indiana and beyond.  Come join us in February and March.
