Drum line is a youth movie by Manager
Charles StoneⅢand 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.
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!
