Frankenmuth High School Marching Band
Frankenmuth was founded in 1845 by a group of German-Lutheran missionaries from Neuendettelsau, Germany.  The City's name is derived from two German words:  Franken,  the province from which the settlers came,  and muth, meaning courage.  Literally translated, Frankenmuth means, Courage of the Franconians.
