Front ensemble


more commonly known as the pit. the part of a drum corps or marching band that stands in front of the field and do not march. the front ensemble can include mallet instruments(marimba, xylophone, vibraphone, etc.), guitar, b-ss guitar, keyboard/synthesizer, drum set, and auxiliary, among many things. the pit is the forgotten part of most drumlines, as most people only include the battery(snares, tenors, b-ss drums) in the drumline. usually very nice people who are criticized excessively by the rest of the corps because they don’t march.
