In the News: FHS prepares for Beatlemania; handicap swing added to Fletcher Field

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

"The Franklin High School music students are preparing for their participation in the Beatlemania concert being held at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 3 at Franklin High School, 218 Oak St. 
The music students will be performing backup instrumentation on a few songs with the national touring production of Beatlemania Stage Show. Students will perform on the songs “Yesterday” with the school’s orchestra; “Sgt. Pepper” with the marching band; and “Yellow Submarine” with the chorus. 
The proceeds will offset some of the expenses for the school’s music department’s trip to Washington, D.C. in the spring for a music festival and competition."
