5th Annual Invitational A Great Success!

14 bands were present at what is being called a "spectacular day" of Marching Band Madness! 
The weather was expected to be a problem but
turned out perfect for all in attendance.  There
was lots of food, fun and music throughout the
day with a stellar performance by the
Franklin Central Marching Band at the close of
the evening.  A big thank-you goes out to the
Parents, Alumni and Middle School/ Kitley band students for their dedication to making this years' Invitational a great success!
The Franklin Central Marching Band Invitational
would not be the most sought after competition
by Indiana bands without the dedication of
volunteers behind the scenes working so hard!
