Voices of Franklin: "New Arts Equipment? That’s Music to My Ears!"

Hello Franklin Community, 

As a Franklin High School student who has been active in our town's music and theater programs since middle school, I have seen the impact that budget cuts have had on these important programs throughout my time in the Franklin Public School system. But just as consistently, I have seen my classmates resiliently rise to the occasion. 

Over the years, Franklin music and theater students have been recognised across the state with awards and certificates, often while using equipment that is in desperate need of repair, or even replacement. Just imagine what they could accomplish if we joined together as a community to help them get the equipment they deserve! 

The Franklin High School Theater Company Boosters and Franklin Music Boosters have partnered together to launch a joint Capital Campaign with a goal of raising $100,000 to upgrade Franklin Middle School and Franklin High School performing arts equipment. In a community with over 30,000 residents, even a small contribution can add up and help give our students the devices they need to create memorable theater and music productions the whole town can enjoy. 

Both the Franklin Middle School (FMS) and Franklin High School (FHS) auditoriums are high-traffic locations, used for assemblies, concerts, recitals, and even rented by outside organizations for large performances. In past years, the FMS auditorium has also been the home of the Franklin Middle School Footlighters, an after-school theater club. I have seen from first hand experience that Footlighters is about more than just performing - it offers an opportunity for kids to experience the magic of theater, connect with peers, embrace creativity in an inclusive environment, and make friends and memories that will last a lifetime. 

However, without a performance space that has functioning audio, lighting, and the basic necessities to bring a show to life, the theater programs at the Middle and High Schools face an uncertain future. 

I believe in our community. Even if someone you know is not currently involved in the music or theater departments, I believe that the residents and businesses of our great town understand the importance of these organizations - and that, if supported, they become assets that benefit the overall community. 

In fact, if just 5,000 of our friends and neighbors contributed $20 to our Capital Campaign, we would meet our goal! I encourage you to learn more about the fundraising initiative, and contribute if you are able by visiting our Give Butter donation link: https://givebutter.com/FPSCaptialCampaign2026

The current and future artists, actors, and musicians of Franklin appreciate your support!

Evangeline King, 

FHS Class of 2029

Capital Campaign launched by FHS Theater Company Boosters & Franklin Music Boosters

Dear Franklin Community,

The performing arts in our schools have experienced reductions in staffing and programming over the years due to budget constraints. However, we believe this community, one that deeply values the arts, can help reverse that trend by revitalizing our facilities and creating a space where students can truly thrive.

The Franklin High School Theatre Company Boosters and Franklin Music Boosters are launching a joint Capital Campaign to enhance performing arts facilities and equipment. Every dollar raised will go directly toward providing Franklin Public Schools students with the tools they need to deliver high-quality theater and music productions with the projects listed below. In a community of more than 30,000 residents, even small contributions can add up to meaningful change.

The FMS Auditorium is a high-traffic hub for school assemblies, concerts, and community rentals. The Franklin Middle School Footlighters, our after-school theater club, is more than just a performance; ticket revenue helps sustain future productions and supports a long-standing tradition of student involvement in the arts. This year, the Footlighters were unable to offer their annual production, limiting students’ first opportunity to experience theater in our public schools.

Aging facilities and failing equipment remain a challenge, and without improvements, opportunities like this are at risk. With improved facilities, we can restore this opportunity and ensure it continues for future FMS students.

Your support will directly impact students’ access to meaningful arts experiences. This Capital Campaign aims to raise $100,000 by July 1st, 2026, to fund the following needs:

The All Town Showcase concerts celebrate the upcoming MICCA Festival performance for each ensemble and serve as a "practice run" in a formal setting with an audience.  We like to call this the "MCAS" of music.  At this festival, each group performs in front of a panel of highly respected judges who assess our performances, providing feedback and a score aligning to a performance rubric.  This is always considered one of the highlights of our year. Please join us to celebrate the talented students in our middle school and high school ensembles.

Pardon the broken schedule for this particular evening. We are fortunate to have a large contingent of talented chorus students this year!

4:30 pm - 6th Grade chorus students arrive through the community entrance (normal auditorium/gym doors)

5:00 pm - performance starts

5:30 pm - Grades 7-12 chorus students arrive as follows:

• 7/8th Grade chorus students should arrive through the main office door (right side) and meet in the media center
• FHS chorus students please meet in the chorus room
• parents may park and enter through the community entrance (auditorium/gym doors)

6:00 pm - performance starts

6:15 pm - Grade 6-12 orchestra students arrive through the cafeteria doors around the back of the building

7:00 pm - parents may enter for the orchestra performance when the chorus audience has fully exited
