Drumline [O-Ring Packaging] (WSE)

short description is not available

{#Drumline} brings the world of "show-style" marching bands (popular at traditionally black, Southern colleges) to the big screen for the first time. The story, by {$Shawn Schepps}, was inspired by the high school drumline experiences of executive producer/executive music producer {$Dallas Austin}. {%Devon} ({$Nick Cannon} of {@Nickelodeon}'s {#The Nick Cannon Show}) is a Harlem drummer who earns a full scholarship to the fictional Atlanta A&T University. There, his talent gets the attention of the school's embattled musical director, {%Dr. Lee} ({$Orlando Jones}), who puts his students' education and appreciation for musical tradition ahead of the marching band's popularity. {%Devon}'s brashly egotistical attitude doesn't endear him to {%Lee}, whose slogan for the band is "One band, one sound," or to the drumline's disciplined captain, {%Sean} ({$Leonard Roberts}, late of TV's {#Buffy the Vampire Slayer}). {%Devon} has more success with the dance captain of the marching band, {%Laila} ({$Zoe Saldana}, who played a ballet dancer in {#Center Stage}), a Southern belle who's won over by {%Devon}'s confidence. {%Sean} feels threatened by {%Devon}'s talent, and his attitude, so when he learns that {%Devon} can't read music, he uses the information to his advantage. With the band facing their archrival at a huge marching band competition, {%Dr. Lee} has to decide whether to allow the brilliant drummer to perform, despite his attitude. {%Devon} has to prove that he can show his skills while still being part of the team. {#Drumline} was directed by {$Charles Stone III} ({#Paid in Full}), and features cameo appearances by musical artists {$Blu Cantrell} and {$Petey Pablo}. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide.
