The band is proud to announce our partnership with Aadvanced Limousines.  Aadvanced is a company based in Franklin Township on Southeastern Ave in Wanamaker.  The band has been marching past their office at every Homecoming Parade each September!

At the recent WGI competition hosted at FC, Aadvanced Limousine provided transportation for the distinguished judges.  When this local company saw the need to provide luxury transportation for the VIPs at this landmark event in our community, it helped to elevate the event to a premier level not only in central Indiana but in the midwest.

The band is giving Aadvanced a Silver Level sponsorship as thanks for the the donation of their services.  Click HERE to find out more about sponsoring the band.

Soon you will have a special occasion in your life.  Check out Aadvanced Limousine and schedule a luxury ride because you deserve it!

Some impressive things happened in February for the Indoor Percussion Ensemble, Junior Varsity Winter Guard and Varsity Winter Guard.

Spring is a few days away.  Here is a quick look back at a few fun things that happened this winter.

​Another Spirit Night at Flashbacks was a success this week.  The owner Ted Pruitt has sent us a check for $579 from the earnings on that day – not just from band customers.  Flashbacks has long been a supporter of Franklin Central performing arts and athletics.  We strongly encourage you all to be regular customers of Flashbacks!  Flashbacks has given the band $1034 this year!  Thank you Ted!
