The Knoxville High School Band is raising money to purchase new band uniforms, and will be hanging yellow books throughout Knoxville today as a fundraiser.
The uniforms the school currently has on hand are about 15 years old and have fallen into disrepair. New Band Director Ben McCartney says the uniforms will cost about $56,000 dollars to replace. The effort has already raised approximately $17,000. Donations for the uniforms can be also sent to the non-profit Knoxville Music Boosters PO box 403 at the Knoxville Post Office.
