Drumline, directed by Charles Stone - responsible for the great Paid In Full, was a surprise for me to know that this was coming out. When I went to see Paid In Full in the theaters this was one of the previews that came on, when I realized that this was about a black college marching band it immediately got my attention as this is a first in this category - but nothing new for black films - not that it's a bad thing.
I was surprised by Orlando Jones' performance at the time since he's usually a funny guy but I was really impressed w/ his acting in this as the band director. Nick Cannon does pretty good as the lead. could've been better but I'm not complaining at all he did good and fit the part. Being that I've attended a black college before I knew what this was about and it was real easy for me to relate to alot that was going on...
Drumline is good stuff 7/10
