The Franklin High School Marching Band
is headed to the 2026 Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade! I have been a proud member of the band since 2023 and I am looking forward to this experience of a lifetime! As you already know, it takes a great deal of work and money to send a group of high school kids across the country. In fact, it takes a community. I would be so honored if you joined our community and helped send us there. Find out more about me and ways to help the band below.
I am a Junior at Franklin High School in my third year of marching band. I play trombone in Symphonic Band and baritone in Marching Band. I joined the marching band in my freshman year at Franklin High and was an alternate throughout my first season as I learned marching technique. In my Sophomore year, I was excited to “earn my dot” and a place on the field! I am incredibly proud to have been a part of the band’s winning season last year where we won best marching band in Tennessee and placed in the top 35 marching bands in the nation. This year, I am proud to continue playing baritone as well as help lead the props team. I am looking forward to a great season which will be capped off with a once in a lifetime opportunity to march in the 2026 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena California with the Franklin High School Marching Band. Next year I hope to become section leader for my fourth and final year at Franklin.
Here some ways to help The FHS Marching Band get to the Rose Bowl:
Throwback Fruit Sale
The Franklin Band is bringing back its beloved Fruit Sale to support their upcoming trip to Pasadena to march in the 2026 Tournament of Roses Parade! 30 years ago, The Franklin Band performed in the 1996 Tournament of Roses Parade and was able to fund the entire trip through a fruit sale! To honor our old traditions, we are bringing back the fruit sale to help defray the travel costs associated with this trip.
Orders can be picked up at Franklin High School or shipped nationwide. And if you would like me to get the credit for the sale, remember to select Noah Belbeck at checkout.
