Leader of the Band (1987)
Lot of Atlanta Locals in this movie
It's a clean movie and was fun to be in. Lassiter High School played the majority of the parts--both the "Big, Good band" which the "bad news bears" type of band was trying to beat--our dress uniforms had "L"'s that dropped off the cummerbund in those days, hence the name: Larchmont. . . all the scenes I worked on were at Oglethorpe or St. Pius--not Grady but I'm sure they did scenes there too.
One of the LHS drum majors was featured in the film which was fun. . . he was a character on the "bad band" side. . . It reads "Jess Sisk" as Maddog but it should be JEFF SISK. . . it's a guy. And his name is Jeff.
I remember hanging out with Fred Wilbur who is also in this movie (Not just Steve Landisburg) and he was very sweet!
It's certainly worth a watch, especially if you grew up in East Cobb county and/or went to Lassiter in 1986/87
