Most people have their favorite outfit, or favorite color, but music teacher Brian Fancher combines them into one magnificent duo on his traditional purple Wednesdays.

Fancher said, “I started purple Wednesdays soon after my first month teaching. I started it because I had a couple of purple shirts and ties that I didn’t wear enough.” He didn’t expect his simple idea of flaunting his favorite color to transform into such an exciting weekly ritual that has now spanned years.

The melodious teacher’s purple Wednesdays inspire his students to embrace their hidden love for purple and join in on the fun. On Wednesdays, don’t be surprised if you find yourself in stuck in a swarm of students singing their praise for purple. Fancher celebrates his students for showing off their purple pride and embracing the special day.
