MR:02 Drum line


Drum line is a youth movie by Manager Charles Stoneand it was shown in 2004 and this is about a marching band of A&T University in Atlanta.

Next, I will talk about characters and story of this movie. The chief character is Devon Miles. He has the ability of the marching drum and he is recruited by Dr. Lee of the marching band of A&T University and enters the university as a music scholarship student. One day he falls in love with Laila who is a dancer in the marching band and he started to date her. The freshmen of the marching band must receive rigorous study and training for two weeks and it is decided which group each person enters. So, they endured in desperation for two weeks. But Devon always was impudent to his part leader because he was self-centered and overconfident. So they came to compete over their drum skill. Devon’s drum section leader is Sean, and he loves drums and band members. As a result of the confrontation Devon won, but he became more and more overconfident. Moreover, he was chosen as a starting member, but he made Dr. Lee fly into a rage and members because he did a performance in defiance of the group. And he was kicked out of the marching band by Dr. Lee. So, Devon noticed his mistake and practiced to be able to play the drums as a band member once again.

One day, Devon met Sean in the practice room and they confronted each other again and Sean said that he would teach Devon how to read music. So, they solved their discord, and he was able to return to as marching member. Their aim was win the championship of the next contest and wanted to beat Morris Brown University which were their rivals, too. A&T University practiced hard and it was the day of the contest at last…

It was very exciting for me! I’m interested in marching band because I joined brass band when I was a junior high school student, and I played the flute and piccolo, so I got a sense of closeness for this movie. I could understand that even one cannot be missing because marching is a group performance. So, I watched the marching band programs of TV, and I like brass band that much. I thought the marching of American was more powerful than the marching of Japan and the scene that people spin their cymbals was very surprising for me. Also, I had goose bumps at in the scene of the performance of the contest. I think that the collaboration of rap and marching was very novel. My eyes were riveted to on the TV screen and the scene of the last drum confrontation. I wanted to participate in brass band once again because I watched this movie!! I like this movie!
