OdeToArsenal47 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Just a burning question, I guess. I mean, they're on the sidelines, not necessarily a pit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamarag Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 It's based on the fact that the musicians in a musical play from "the pit" (short for orchestra pit). Since the front ensemble in band and corps plays from a more or less similar location, the name stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGarrett Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 OK... now that the "real" definition is out there... let's make stuff up: It's called the "pit" because it reeks of B.O., and yet the people that perform in it for shows don't really have to do anything but play their instrument... so stuff like basic block is lost on them. OK, I made the "B.O." part up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
