From the Social Media Manager:

As we approach the Summer season which will be marked by The Franklin Band's continued act of community service providing live music for the graduating 8th grade class of Franklin Borough School, a reminder about our Tuesday rehearsals tonight then for the summer until September.

Setup time will always be 7 pm and rehearsal time is always from 7:30-9 pm. Tonight will be our last rehearsal at Franklin Borough School.

Then, for the next 6 Tuesdays in June/July, our Tuesday night rehearsals will be at the American Legion Post 132 building in Franklin behind the Shoprite plaza.

New members are always welcome, especially any student musicians about to enter summer break who want to keep their musical talents fresh and even improved for the next school year!

This Memorial Day turned out to be special despite the rain. For the oldest community band in New Jersey, the rain did not damper our collective resolve to do our part to pay tribute to those who paid the ultimate price serving our country in our military from our country's founding 250 years ago up to today. The other thing this 100% volunteer organization is about, is family. This community band is a family united by music and made up of multiple members who are families. Parents playing alongside their children in some shape or form. With special recognition and pride due to stars aligning, The Franklin Band was proud to have a guest trumpet player in our section from Jason Webb playing alongside his son Paxton on cymbals. They are 4th and 5th generation Franklin Band members respectively. Stay tuned to this page where footage is being compiled from multiple sources for YouTube from today's performances
