Walking down the halls of the Ninth Grade Center at Gainesville High School, it is possible at times to hear literature teacher Bryant Tench pull out his guitar and play and sing a little bit with his students. With Tench’s background, it’s not that surprising. He grew up in a musical family, played in a band in high school, studied classical guitar at Truett McConnell University and is now playing in a band based in Clarkesville.
