The home game with Plum has been moved to Thursday, September 18 here at FR. The kick-off has been moved up to 7:00 PM.  This will be televised locally as the FSN Game of the Week!

The Marching Band Rehearsal Schedule for 2008-2009 has been released. The dates are on the Calendar.

All rehearsals run from 3:00 to 4:30 unless otherwise indicated.



From Mr. Pollock: Everyone is expected to be on time and remain for the entire rehearsal. Please use the time between school dismissal and 3:00 PM for club meetings and other school business. No one is excused early from band practice for work. Proper attire, including tennis shoes, is required at all after school rehearsals.

Manu Narayan (FRHS Class of '91) is
co-staring in the new Mike Myers movie,
"The Love Guru." 


Mr. Pollock made the following comments about Manu.

“Manu is a band alumnus.  He was a terrific alto sax player, an outstanding All-State vocalist, and probably the finest all-around student talent ever to take a role in a Franklin Regional High School musical production.  He attended Carnegie Mellon and later toured with a production of "Miss Saigon."  He had the lead role in Andrew Lloyd-Weber's "Bombay Dreams."  This is his first role on the silver screen!”

Congratulations to the FR Marching Band for receiving an invitation to the 2009 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City!

The Macy’s parade staff came to the school directly from New York to make the announcement to the band in the high school auditorium. This will be the band’s second appearance in the parade, having been there in 2003. The Band Staff congratulates all members of this year’s marching band on their remarkable achievement!  Special thanks to our juniors and seniors, who although they will not be with us in 2009, made all this possible with the terrific performances this year!  We will make you proud! For more information about the event, see http://www.macys.com/campaign/parade/parade.jsp.

Do you have any pictures, audio, or video of the band that you would like to share? Please send them to webmaster@frband.com or give them to Mr. Pollock or any Band Booster Officer. We would prefer that you send them in digital format.  Thank you!
