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 20% 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.

2022-2023 Volunteer Commitment
In 2021, a volunteer commitment (and optional buyout) for our hosted events was added to the marching band contract. 
​Please see the Sign Up section at the bottom of the page to select your slots for the 2022-2023 school year.

Volunteer Background Check

All volunteers are required by Franklin Township Community School Corporation to complete the SafeVisitor background check.  Please click the link below and follow the instructions.  The cost is $16.00.  Be sure to download the app so you can track when your renewal date approaches.
