Someone wrote on Facebook late Saturday night:

For anyone new to Greendale: just before midnight, you’ll hear horns and sirens from the high school. Don’t worry… it’s a tradition to welcome back the marching band from State. They’re state champs for the 18th year!

I noticed on social media Franklin residents responding to the ‘noise’ with compliments and congratulations for the band. I read no complaints about the ‘noise’ from Franklinites.

This is unlike some Greendale fuddy-duddies who are constantly bickering, squabbling, stomping their feet, turning blue about the sounds emanating from Franklin’s Ballpark Commons.

Just sayin.’

Way to go Greendale H.S.!
