Good morning!
I wanted to congratulate our FHS musicians on their performance at the 2025 Gold Medal MICCA Showcase concert. Performing were the FHS Wind Ensemble, Repertory Orchestra and String Orchestra. See YouTube link below. This performance was held at the Groton Hill Music Center on Sunday. It was not only a beautiful venue in which to perform, but it was also an opportunity for the top music programs in the state to hear each other perform and support each other. It is always a proud moment to be invited to such an elite event.
It is my hope that we can use this as a reminder of the special music program we have in Franklin. I've said it before, but this program is not a luxury to have in our schools, it is a necessity. While looking at the program linked above, it is interesting to take note of the schools who earned gold medals. For the most part, these schools are also some of the highest achieving schools academically. This is not a coincidence.
Please continue to fight to protect what we have. These performances are a result of a supported program K-12. We have an enormous responsibility to maintain this gem for future generations.
Our Director, Diane Plouff, received this email from an attendee from Ashland following the performance.
Ms. Plouffe,I attended the MICCA Gold Medal Showcase this afternoon. I heard the FHS Orchestra's performance and was stunned! The emotion and precision with which the students performed moved me, particularly the first piece they performed. I would appreciate it if you would send me the names of the pieces performed today.Please pass along my congratulations! Your students performed remarkably!Diane UmholtzVice PresidentAshland Music Association
