The Franklin High School Band Program competed at the state competition last spring, for the first time since the competition began. The band marched in the 2022 Grand Floral parade, and various groups and performers competed at district and state levels. FHS sent 12 students to the Western International Band Clinic this fall, and had many representatives at the all-city honor band program. The bands raise school spirit at pep bands and assemblies, and help make Franklin the wonderful school it is.
