The Frankfort High School Band is growing and looking for sponsors for the current school year. The band is a proud school representative and we pride ourselves on serving FHS in the community, athletic events and performing concerts free for the public.

This year, the band is in need of several instruments, new uniforms, t-shirts, & polos. The band has also been invited to perform at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida this spring. Without the equipment and uniforms, we will be unable to participate in this wonderful opportunity.
