THANK YOU for supporting the members of The Franklin Band! Your contributions have meant so much, and we are incredibly grateful that you rallied behind our band. Please be sure to tune in on New Year's Day to watch the band march in the historic Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade!

When 250 Tennessee students step onto Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena on New Year's Day 2026, they'll carry more than instruments. They'll carry our community's heart, our state's pride, and dreams that began in a Franklin High School band room.

The Franklin Band has achieved what only 20 bands worldwide can claim: an invitation to the Tournament of Roses Parade. But here's what makes this moment extraordinary: This isn't just another performance. This is our return to Pasadena 30 years later, representing ALL of Tennessee on a global stage before 74 million viewers across 170 countries.

We are seeking support from individual donors, visionary businesses, and community leaders who understand that investing in youth excellence creates ripples that last generations. Partnering with The Franklin Band isn't just funding a trip - it is an investment in a legacy of excellence built over the past 88 years. Every dollar is tax-deductible. Every contribution is life-changing to our students.

Are you ready to be a part of this historic journey with us?

If you are interested in helping us offset the significant costs of traveling to represent Franklin and the state of Tennessee in this prestigious parade, please contact our fundraising team at Fundraising@TheFranklinBand.org for more information.
