Fundraising
Show Hosting Requirements The Band Boosters at Franklin Central High School host many events throughout the year, such as Winter Guard contests, Winter Percussion (IPA) contests, and a 2-day Winter Guard International (WGI) Percussion Regional. Groups from all over the country participate in these events, with attendance exceeding 5,000 guests. This generates TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS for the Band Boosters, but help is required to put on these prestigious events. Students and family members must volunteer for at least 1 shift/position at each event. This helps to make out-of-pocket fees as low as possible. Please reserve these dates as they become known and sign up for a shift as soon as the schedule is made available. Hosting shows prevents the need to hold “door-to-door” fundraisers on a nearly constant basis. Hosting shows throughout the year REDUCES the amount of time we spend fundraising. Hosting shows brings in tens of thousands of dollars to the band program each year. Hosting shows reduces fees for ALL band students by HUNDREDS of dollars. To put it simply...we LOVE hosting shows! Maybe you have this question: "I don't know what position is best for me. What should I do?" Here are the recommended Volunteer Positions to help you decide:
If you have questions, contact: Tyler Bongen and Heather Buck, coordinator@fcbands.org Join in on the excitement and volunteer today!
