Purdue Big Bass Drum

1/31/2019

 
​This just happened.  The famous Purdue Big Bass Drum is coming to our percussion competition on Saturday, February 9.  The drum was built in 1921 and has been a cornerstone of the “All-American Marching Band” for 100 years!  See here for more information about the amazing drum.  http://www.purduedrumline.com/big-bass-drum.html
 
When you volunteer for a shift at IPA this year, you’ll have an opportunity to see this beast.  We currently have 20 open positions that need to be filled.  Do your part.  Click here:   https://bit.ly/2DMkWFP

Order Your Swag

1/27/2019

 
Click Here
The web store is ready for our Swag ordering. You may notice several Colors are offered this year! Please think about supporting your kid in this unique way by ordering your swag in their uniform color. The stands at competitions would look so awesome with all of our colors represented. As always, the kids will be provided with one show shirt (in their uniform color). The web store will be open for business until Wed, Jan 30th, so we have a good chance of receiving the order in time for our IPA contest at FC. There will be another ordering window open later this season and that one will include the patch.

Show Hosting Requirements
  • The Band Boosters at Franklin Central High School will host events throughout the year, such as an Indiana Percussion Association (IPA) contest and a 2-day Winter Guard International (WGI) Percussion Regional contest. Groups from all over the region participate in these events every year, 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.
