The Frost School of Music "Band of the Hour" has been selected to perform in Orlando at the Bands of America Southern Championships on October 13 and the Disney World Magic Kingdom Parade on October 14.
Performing at these events would be a tremendous honor for Frost Band of the Hour musicians, but we need your support to help secure transportation and room-and-board during their exhibitions.
By making a gift to the Support Frost Band of the Hour Trip to Orlando & Performance Campaign, you can help give these talented performers a once-in-a-lifetime experience and raise the Band's national prominence.
The deadline to raise $25,000 is October 5—so please make your gift to support the Frost Band of the Hour today!
