Who makes up the Marching Band?
On the schedules you will see references to several different groups that make up the Bryant High School Marching Band:
Front Ensemble (A.K.A. Fromble) - Group of musicians in the front of the field who are for the most part “stationary” and don’t move. They are a part of percussion.
Battery Percussion - Another part of percussion are comprised of snares, tenors and basses and do move along with the band when performing.
Color Guard or Guard Rehearsal - Those that dance, toss flags, sabers and rifles. In the winter, you will hear them referred to as Winterguard.
Full Band Rehearsal and Band Rehearsal - Refers to all people whether they march with their instrument on the field, do guard or are part of the percussion ensemble.
Rehearsals
If you go to our Google Calendar or Events Page on this website, you will see a list of all the upcoming rehearsals.
It’s important to know what instrument your child plays and which group he’s considered to be in, in order to be connected to his/her schedule. You can also sync this calendar to your phone.
Most rehearsals occur after school, Saturdays, or sometimes on Friday nights (Friday Night Under The Lights) during some away games.
Competition Schedules
Are posted in Google Calendar and on the Events Page. They will also be added to E-blast and mentioned on Facebook. Competition schedules will be posted to our social pages as well as the band website.
Please do not be surprised if you don’t know the exact time your student/child will be leaving for a competition until just a few days before.
On many occasions we do not know what time we will perform until the venue lets us know. Patience is key.
We will update you all as soon as possible.
Skillet (A.K.A. The Practice Field)
This is the area on the black top parking lot outside the band room. It is where the entire band will spend most of their time learning the show. When you come to pick your student up at night, please keep the following in mind:
1. Drive slow
2. Do not park along the curb near the band room or along the driveway towards the bandroom. The kids, especially those with enormous percussion instruments and props, need lots of room to get their instruments back to the band room.
3. Feel free to get out of your car and ask a kid you don’t know if you can help push their instrument back to the band room. After all day in school and band practice till 5:45PM (Or Saturday ALL DAY), they will probably welcome the help.
