It's done!! Musical Service: The Life and Times of the Franklin Silver Cornet Band is now in print and is currently available directly only from the publisher (in a month or two it will turn up at amazon.com and other fine booksellers, plus the author will probably sell copies out of his trunk.) This book traces all 150 years of band history with tales of the band's ups and downs and the many colorful individuals who have graced our ranks. You can order your own copy by following the link here. A few excerpts and the book's index are here on the site.      If you would like to be kept informed of band news and events, you can click here to sign up for our Friends of the Band e-mailing list. (After signing up, you will receive a confirmation e-mail, so watch for that.)
