I am a former band student and Mr. Bryant was my high school band director all through high school. Mr. Bryant was always willing to go out of his way for students to help them and the school board just wants to throw that all away??? Whoever had the nerve to spread this RUMOR around needs to grow up and stop being jealous!! Don't open your mouth until you know the facts! I love Mr. Bryant and Whiteville High School will NEVER find another director like him! They've lost the best teacher ever!
