First High School Band

Some histories indicate the first high school band was organized in 1909, one year before the Jackson Township High School opened, but a picture in the files of the Southwest Franklin County Historical Society indicate this photograph of a high school band was taken in 1906. It’s documented the band practiced at the Beulah Methodist Church and at the home of Mrs. Rolla White. In 1971, the Grove City High School band performed Script Ohio during a pregame show for the Cincinnati Bengals at Riverfront Stadium.
