It would be an understatement to say it was a big year for the Fishers High School Band program.  Here are just a few reasons why.

After winning their division in the 2022 WGI Color Guard World Championship Open, the Fishers Guard went on to perform in the World Class Finals, and finished in fifth place nationally.  They also took home the bronze medal at the 2022 Indiana High School State Championship. Fishers Guard was also the 2019 Open Class National Champion and were promoted to World Class before the pandemic.

The Fishers Drumline won a silver medal in the Indiana Percussion Association State Championship.

The Fishers Concert World Percussion Ensemble won its ninth Indiana Percussion Association State Championship and then went on to win its third consecutive National Championship title at the WGI Percussion World Championships.

Chad Kohler, one of the Fishers High School band directors, spoke before the school board Wednesday night about the fund-raising coming for the band’s trip to New York City planned for Thanksgiving, 2023.  Fishers will be one of only ten bands selected to perform at the famed Macy’s Parade.  Kohler said Macy’s started their fund-raising activities with a $10,000 initial grant, but many fund-raising events are being planned starting this summer.

The board honored the Fishers Band program as part of its Snapshots of Success series.
