“Other than the Red Cross, I think we’re the oldest nonprofit in Warsaw,” said Tracy Furnivall, executive director.

In addition to the main club located at 1401 E. Smith St., Baker Youth Club has two satellite locations: Syracuse Elementary School and Wawasee Middle School. The satellite locations, which serve youth from after Labor Day to a few weeks before the end of the school year, sees about 20 children a day with a cap at 40. Children at-

Furnivall is only the fourth director and first full-time director of the Baker Youth Club. Pete Thorn was the first director, serving for 37 years, followed by Coach Robert Litchwalter, who had a 70-year history with the club as a member, director and strong supporter after retiring, and Scott Wiley.“I’ve had a great board of directors over the years. … We’re continuing to grow to what I think is a rock star group from the community,” Furnivall said. “It’s just been one (period of) growth after theWhenother.”Furnivall started back in 2003, it was just he and one or two staff people working in the club. Today, he has a staff of 40. Pre-COVID, the club served about 220 to 230 kids a day. Currently the club is seeing approximately 150 kids a day, but Furnivall said he expects those numbers to rise once fall sports seasons are over.

For the last 96 years, the Baker Youth Club has offered kids in Warsaw a safe place to play and get some homework help. The organization will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2026.

The Baker Youth Club focuses on three pillars: education, health and social skill building.

Youth Club serves kids in kindergarten through 12th grade with approximately 85% of its members being in kindergarten through sixth“Onegrade.of the cool things I really like about our program … (is) we’ve had kids who attended here who are now staff members,” Furnivall said. The club also hires some high school kids who used to be members and still want to be involved in the program.The latest hire for the Baker Youth Club is JR Grey, who was formerly the director of Youth for Christ. Furnivall said Grey comes from a great nonprofit background. His duties include working with staff relations and scheduling, helping on the floor with the kids, community relations and fundraising.

“We really listened to our community, our educators, our judicial community that we needed to add education and health (to the program), “ Furnivall said. “Kids need social skills, whether they’re sitting playing chess or soccer. In the STEM room I think that’s one of the big things we’re accomplishing under the radar.”

With the assistance of six community partners, the club serves dinner around 5:30 p.m. to the club members. The club closes at 6:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 6 p.m. on Fridays. It also offers daylong summer programs as well as remaining open should school cancel due to inclement weather. “It’s a resource for working parents where it’s a safe, engaging place,” Furnivall said.Baker

members start coming between 6:30-8 a.m. while their parents go off to work. At the club, they hang out and enjoy some free time while waiting for their school Warsawbus.Community Schools offers a shuttle bus between its schools and the club. “We would not be as successful without this support,” Furnivall said. Club members are then shuttled back to the club after school where they receive a snack, and kindergartners through third graders participate in 20 minutes of reading. Third graders also do a practice ISTEP reading worksheet Monday through Thursday. Certified teachers assist the children with their homework and reading.

Club members may then enjoy some free time playing games in the game room, playing in the gym or engaging in a project in either the art or STEM room. “We want them to have fun, but it’s structured,” Furnivall explained.

One of the books Brown has been working on since the ‘90s, “Furs and Fevers,” will be published this fall. “I give my writing mentor Dr. Dennis E. Hensley credit for helping me get through the rough spots and get it ready for publication by Austin Macauley.”

Band members started working on their show at band camp the last two weeks of July. The band has had to deal with some rain and other distractions.

The band will be traveling to Disney World in April and Pawlicki wanted the band to have a full Disney experience. “It’s almost a passion project for me,” he said.

As the pep band, members must learn the opposing school’s fight songs as well as their own, in addition to a continually expanding repertoire of popular songs, which run the gamut from modern and classic rock numbers like “Seven Nation Army” and “Sweet Caroline” to R&B favorites including “In The Midnight Hour” and “Soul Man.” “We keep adding new music throughout the season,” said Riner.

This year’s Viking Guard is 30 strong and composed of three flutes, seven clarinets, six alto saxophone, six trumpets, four trombones or low brass and four percussion.

While the band is not technically a marching or “field” band taking part in competitions, the Viking Guard stays busy performing in the aforementioned parades and as the pep band at football games and boys and girls basketball games, the latter being a recent addition to their schedule.

Regardless of grade or ability level, “all the kids play,” she added, which gives the group a sense of cohesion and inclusiveness. “Grade level kind of goes away. … It doesn’t benefit the group to see things in terms of grade level. They all have to work together.”

The Tippecanoe Valley Viking Guard’s 2022-23 season is “off to a good start,” according to Janell Riner, now in her 24th year as band director.

Viking Guard brings music and fun to Tippecanoe Valley

Music itself has a “treasure trove of benefits,” Riner noted, combining aural, visual and kinesthetic skills simultaneously. Viking Guard members tend to be “intelligent, funny and want to have a good time.”

“They’re one of the most fun groups in the school,” she continued, “Camaraderie is very high. A lot of high school memories are made in band.”

herself a 1993 Tippecanoe Valley graduate, tries to impart a sense of “community-mindedness” to her students. “We’ve been given a unique gift, so let’s do something with it.”

The band performed at the first home football game of the season at Smith-Bibler Memorial Field on Aug. 19; however, the Viking Guard also contributed its talents to the Mentone Egg Festival and Akron Fourth of July Parade over the summer, and was also on the bill of the Sept. 10 “Rotors Over Mentone” event, where they performed the national

“Our show is difficult this year and requires a lot of intricate moves and choreography,” said Ziegler. “We have had the goal of making improvements each and every rehearsal. The students have been working really hard and I am very pleased with progress we have made since band camp. We are all excited to get into the competition season. Marching band teaches students life lessons that will benefit them as adults: discipline, work ethic, time management, cooperation, respect, responsibility, team work, and commitment.”

With 37 members, Triton Junior-Senior High School’s Marching Trojans is one of the smaller bands in the area. But what it lacks in membership, it certainly makes up in spirit. The band made it all the way to semistate last year, finishing 14th in Indiana State School Music Association Open Class D. This year their goal is to advance to the state finals at Lucas Oil Stadium.“We’re more organized this year than last year. Myself and Mr. Lawrence write the music for the show. We find music that fits the theme and start looking for music in January and then hold a staff meeting in March to discuss the theme. Some of the music is original and some of it is from recording,” said band director DavidThisSeel.is Seel’s eighth year as the band director. In that time, he has elevated the band’s competitive sta-

The band’s theme for this fall is “Reflections in the Night.” The idea for the theme is based on dealing with life’s struggles and being lost in the forest with only a mirror moving to your own reflection. The theme focuses on coming out of the past two plus years of COVID and recovering from tragedy while reflecting on the importance of life.

Upcoming Saturday contests include Sept. 17 at Dekalb; Sept. 24 at Penn; Oct. 8 at Homestead; Oct. 15 at Issma Regionals; Oct. 29 semistate at Franklin High School, to be determined; and Nov. 5 state finals at Lucas Oil Stadium, to be determined.

For more information, go to triton.k12.in.us.

The jazz band and marching band both performed in a parade at the Blueberry Festival over Labor Day weekend. Some of the songs featured at the Blueberry Festival were “Never Gonna Give You Up,” “Sweet Caroline,” “Good Time” by Owl City and the Triton school song. The band also participated in a contest at Goshen High School on Sept. 10.

The students participated in three weeks of band camp at Triton High School during the summer. “The kids worked very hard. The average grade for a student in our band is a sophomore. We have a very young band. The current group of 10th graders marched in 2019 as seventh graders,” he said.

The band and color guard are comprised of grades seven through 12. The band is comprised of three flutes, five clarinets, two alto saxophones, four trumpets, two mellophones, four baritones, one tuba, eight percussion and seven color guard. Charles Lawrence leads the percussion group and Raquel Teutle leads the color guard.

Triton’s Marching Trojans exhibit hope and renewal during fall performance routine
