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.

In 2021, a volunteer commitment (and optional buyout) for our hosted events was added to the marching band contract.

Volunteer Positions and Descriptions
|
Parking When our guests arrive at the school, YOU get to be the first person to greet them to Franklin Central! First impressions are forever. Parking volunteers assist guests entering and exiting the parking lots. They provide guidance to semi-trucks, buses and equipment trailers to safely navigate to the correct location. This job is very popular because of the constant activity. Unit Check In This is the first person inside the building to greet the visiting band directors and students. They will provide the directors their information packet, wristbands and guide them to the dressing rooms for the students. Unloading Semi-trucks and trailers are unloaded at the main cafeteria dock. You will provide guidance to the groups moving their equipment into the building. The goal is to do this safely and efficiently. Warm Ups Prior to performing, the groups will move to the freshman cafeteria or the freshman gym to do physical warm-ups and performance warm ups. The volunteer will mark time and alert the groups to move towards the main gym for the performances. Concessions We provide drinks, snacks and meals for our guests. Concessions helps make these events successful fundraisers. Thank you for making a good impression on our guests! Ticket Sales Sell wristbands and programs to spectators entering the building. It’s exciting to greet people that are visiting our school for the first time. Volunteer Check-In Sit in the volunteer headquarters and greet the volunteers. Have them sign in, hand them a volunteer shirt and a name tag. The volunteer may also need directions to their work area. How do you get to the backside gym balcony or the freshman cafeteria? |
Gym The gym is where the action happens! Working in the gym allows you to see the shows while working your shift. Making our guests feel at home is a must.
Hospitality We need to take care of our special guests and our valuable volunteers. Franklin Central has a reputation of providing outstanding hospitality to our guests. It’s important that our guests want to come back! There are four separate rooms that provide food and a friendly environment to these groups:
First Aid This is a large event that requires a first aid station. It needs to be staffed by nurses, EMTs or first responders. Security If you work in law enforcement, this will be a fun day for you. Set Up and Tear Down Help hang signage, tape tarps, set up the parking and performer flows, etc. the evening prior to the event. After the event, help get the school cleaned up and put back together. |
