The Fishers Marching Tiger band has been wildly successful in recent years.
Its top concert band has been a continual Top 10 Wind Ensemble at the ISSMA Concert Band State Finals, the Marching Tiger Band has been a Top 5 state finalist and Third Place 2021 finalist. Its Color Guard was named the 2019 WGI Open Class World Champion and IHSCGA State Champion. The percussion program won its third consecutive National Championship in 2022 and holds nine state titles with the Indiana Percussion Association.
The band has marched at the Walt Disney Main Street parade, Indianapolis 500 parade, Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade, Hollywood Christmas parade, and was recently invited to participate in the 2023 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade next November.
We are blessed to be a part of the Fishers community and hope the community will support us by visiting fishersband.org and clicking the donate button to support our band’s scholarship program, which will allow all marchers to attend the Macy’s parade.
The Marching Tiger Band will play host to next year’s annual Christmas in October Craft Fair from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Oct. 7, 2023.
The marching band will compete this Saturday, Nov. 5 at the ISSMA State Finals and next Friday and Saturday, Nov. 11 and 12 in the Bands of America Grand Nationals Championships. Both competitions will be held at Lucas Oil Stadium.
