I live in central Florida and have a large Bismark palm that suffered frost damage to the fronds during our recent freeze. I have trimmed off the lowest level of brown, drooping fronds, but don't know whether / how much when I should go further up in removing the additional damaged fronds. Thanks

If it's brown,take it down. If it's green,let it lean... 😄

Yep , what @aztropic said . Partially damaged fronds , although don’t look pretty , help the palm in supplying much needed nutrients . Sort of like a piggy bank! Harry

@GeorgeP Hope it makes a swift recovery.  The advice above is sound and will give you the best chance of keeping the palm alive and healthy.

I would go up and inspect the crown and bud area, too.
