This story is about a cocky kid named Devon miles, he just graduated from his high school at Harlem, N.Y and he gets the full scholarship to Atlanta A & T University to play drums. His talent is the reason that he was recruited by the band director Dr. Lee. After a military style training, he becomes the only P1 member who will be guaranteed to spot on the field out of all the freshmen. There is no doubt that he is the best natural drummer the college has ever had. He expects to lead his school’s marching band to victory so eagerly. Yet, his cocky and haughty attitude brings many obstacles in his life. He lies on the university application because he cannot really read music; he disrespects his section leader; he fights with his competitor during the performance. Because all of these, he is kicked out from the marching band. But, he does not give up his music, he soon realizes the hard way that it takes more than talent to reach the top. So he starts to learn how to read music from his section leader (Sean) and mean while help Sean to prepare the competition, although he cannot spot on the field. Finally, under Devon and Sean’s leader, their marching band wins the first price with another marching band (Morris brown), so their drumline are put on the field for the championship. finally, with their drumline's perfect performance, The Atlanta A & T university marching band win the BET big southern classical competition.
The things that impress me mostly in this comedy are their highly organized team work, their musicianship and their wonderful college life. They are in the band because they have a fervent, unequivocal belief in team work and also because they belief the musicianship. In this Atlanta A & T marching band there is one concept “one band, one sound” which means if anyone in the band looks or sounds bad, they all look and sound bad. What a strong team work!
