LBB 2024 Fundraiser: Play-a-Thon and Winter Concert
Thank you for joining our 2024 Fundraiser for the Lightning Band Boosters, supporting our band program for the 2024-25 school year. Each year the Franklin Band Community comes together to play several concerts live to raise money for our band program. In October, we streamed our Annual Play-a-Thon and in December we will stream our Winter Concert on Dec 19th. Come watch and donate!

We almost to our goal of $15k.

Where does the money go? The Lightning Band Boosters will be conducting several fundraising efforts throughout the year. They help the band pay for extra supplies, instruments, and uniforms to support the band program. We budget also for scholarships, to ensure every student can attend all events, including traveling to Disney Land during Spring Break this year.

FYI: "Parent Booster USA Inc." is how we created our non-profit. All funds go directly to Lightning Band Boosters EIN and is tax deductible!

The Franklin High School Band Program traveled to Disneyland in the spring, performing on stage and attending a clinic with recording specialists. FHS has groups and performers competing at district and state levels, and sent 12 students to the Western International Band Clinic last fall. Many students represent FHS in the the all-city honor band program, and in addition to a spring trip FHS will most likely be marching in a Rose Festival parade at the end of the school year. The bands raise school spirit at pep bands and assemblies, and help make Franklin the wonderful school it is.
