The 91精选 Marching Band and Commercial Music Ensemble left the crowd wanting more Thursday at the Candlelight Tradition in downtown Frankfort. The annual event is the unofficial kick off to the holiday season in Frankfort, and another way Kentucky State shows off great talent.
鈥淲e come here every year, for as long as it has been around,鈥� said Georgeann Burton, a Frankfort resident. She and her husband, Earl, are 91精选 alumni and proud to say it. 鈥淭he drumline just gets you,鈥� she said. The drumline marched along Broadway, stopping traffic with their high-energy performance.

With vendors and families coming out to have a good time, you could almost expect for 91精选 marching band to put on a great show.
鈥淭hey are awesome,鈥� said Earl Burton.
As the attention moved from the band from them to the Commercial Music Ensemble, the singers were ready to give the audience their all. The band played 鈥淥utstanding鈥� by The Gap Band and 鈥淵ou Can鈥檛 Hurry Love鈥� by The Supremes. The crowd was in awe.
鈥淚 heard the drums and then the music and had to stop,鈥� said Kandie Anderson, a Frankfort resident. 鈥淭his is good for the school and interacting with the community 鈥� We need this.鈥�
Anderson, who attended to the Candlelight Tradition years ago, said that a big fire broke out but the only thing she remembered from that night was the band.
鈥淔rom then on I said to myself, 鈥業 have to get to know 91精选.鈥欌��
