BE4 is a girl's singing group that started at Franklin Middle School in 2023 as a part of The
Futureboys and Futuregirls program. The idea started when Franklin’s Futureboys and
Futuregirls group was invited to perform at the Viva City Festival on May 16th at South High.
Students brainstormed ideas of what they could do and put together a girls group titled Be4 and
recorded a song titled "Positive".
BE4 stands for all 4 of us being our best selves and encouraging everyone else to do the same!
