Bomber Brigade
The Bomber Brigade serves as Rensselaer Central's marching band and is primarily active during the late summer through the fall. This ensemble is comprised of high school students and select 8th grade students and performs at many community and school events throughout the year. Performances will include parades throughout the summer and fall, football games, and pep sessions. 8th grade students who show above average work ethic and skill may be invited to participate by the director.
The Bomber Brigade primarily rehearses during the late summer/early fall and outside of the regular school day. The highlight of the marching season happens during band camp. Students meet to rehearse from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm the entire week. During this time, students learn music and drill for the upcoming season's marching show. During the school year, rehearsals are usually scheduled on Monday's from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm and Thursday's from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm and during 1st period during the day. This class is a part of the High School Band's curriculum, meaning rehearsals will also be during the school day in the Fall. All rehearsals and performances are worth a grade. Join us at a football game or Marching Band competition to support our team and enjoy a marvelous show!
