History of the Blazers Band
Founded in 1960 in conjunction with the Framingham Parks & Recreation Department, The Blazers Band was Framingham’s hometown band throughout the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s .
Mr. Paul Bordeleau, Framingham Blazers Band, Founder and first Musical Director, (1980's photo)
Founder and first musical director, Mr. Paul Bordeleau, was a teacher at Framingham’s now-defunct Lincoln Junior High School and wanted a way for Framingham kids to continue practicing and playing their band instruments after the school year ended. In 1963, when the newly constructed Framingham North High School was built, Mr. Bordeleau became the school’s first band director.
The Blazers Band was a family oriented organization — a group of Framingham ladies sewed the red and white striped blazers that band members wore, and decades of Framingham families supported the band and participated in band activities.
The organization grew to include the marching band, a color guard, jazz band, a stage band that performed “Big Band” style, and of course — The Blazeretts, a troupe of baton twirlers in matching red and (more…)

FRAMINGHAM, MA – After months of planning, casting, rehearsing and finally performing the play — “The Laramie Project” closed after its second sellout night at Framingham High School.
I didn’t see the play. I’ll admit to never going to a play unless my kid was in it. What I did see and hear were an incredible amount of civil rights “in action” and discussed and debated in the schools and on the streets of Framingham.
The photo of Matthew Shepard on this page is so nobody forgets that the The Laramie Project is about a murder. A 21 year old kid was killed by two cowards. The murderers attempted to use the fact that Matthew Shepard was gay as an excuse for how their planned robbery went very wrong.
The killers were Meth-heads. They were too lazy to work for a living. The robbery was all about “getting money for drugs“. They singled out (more…)
Early a.m. police barricade at A St. and Concord St. as police control traffic near Framingham High School.
FRAMINGHAM, MA – Under the cover of darkness T.V. news trucks quietly pulled into the old State Lumber parking lot at the corner of School Street and Concord Street.
It was still before dawn as reporters fixed their hair, straightened their jackets and ties, and cameramen readied their equipment.
The Assignment: Get some film of the Westboro Baptist Church members who are in town to protest the play, “The Laramie Project“.
The controversial play is about the murder of a gay 21 year old University of Wyoming student, Matthew Shepard, who was beaten and left to die in 1998 and how the community dealt with the issue.
The Westboro Baptist group travels around the country protesting the play, but are perhaps even better known for protesting at the funerals of US Soldiers who were killed in war.
The play will be performed at Framingham High School tonight and (more…)
