Volunteer for Events FC is Hosting - Color Guard event in need!
Franklin Central has the privilege of hosting two more events this Spring - the Indiana High School Color Guard Association (IHSCGA) on March 7; and Winter Guard International (WGI) on March 14-15. While the WGI event positions are filling up, the Color Guard event is still in desperate need of volunteers who can stay for the entire shift.
