There was a
time when every town in America had its own band, when people gathered on the
cool green grass on a warm summer evening to hear their friends and neighbors
play band music. In Franklin (Venango County), Pennsylvania, that tradition
continues. Founded in 1856, the Franklin Silver Cornet Band continues as a
group of volunteers from throughout the community providing live music for our
friends and neighbors.
Within this
site, you can learn a bit about our musical history, as well as current
information about upcoming band events. There is also information here for band
members (there's no security wall around that information, but if you're not a
member, you probably won't be very excited about what you find there).
