Franklin High School Music Program in International Contest!

The FHS Drumline is currently in an international contest to win new equipment; contest is decided by popular vote via Facebook.

Dear Elk Grove Community -

My name is Jake and I work with the drumline at Franklin High School in Elk Grove. Recently we were given the opportunity to win a custom made floor tarp for our program via a competition going on through Facebook. Whichever group brings in the most number of votes gets the grand prize and the two runners up get 50% off this expensive item. These tarps are very pricy and are used to set the scene for our programs. Typically we paint them (50’ x 70’ in size) and this is messy and a ton of work. This contest provides an opportunity for us to have something of high quality for our upcoming winter season and is a great reward for the hard working students. The contest is international (extending into Canada) and we are the only group from the Sacramento area!

To vote, simple click on this link (http://a.pgtb.me/VpB2WC/gz5CC?w=27488576&e=67114054) and click “Vote” underneath Franklin High School; it’s as simple as that. The link takes you directly to the page with Franklin at the top. Note we also created a simple page that links you to the Facebook voting site at www.voteFHS.weebly.com. If you have just a moment to vote and then share the link with your friends, we will be greatly appreciative! We have been quite fortunate to receive the support that we have thus far. Thank you in advance.
