When she steps onto the field for the halftime show Friday night at North Hall High School, Bryanna Channell will not just be leading the Flowery Branch High Marching Band for the first time in a football game; she will be continuing a family tradition. Channell, a senior, is the third member of her family to serve as drum major at the school. Her brother, Christian, was the school’s drum major from 2014-16. A third cousin, Lauren Bozeman Gauthey, was the Flowery Branch drum major during the 2008-09 school year.
