The FIRST Black College Band Movie
But not the best known. The movie suffers from a lack of funds, and is nowhere near as glamorous as drumline, but i feel that it takes a closer look at how marching bands are actually ran, not exactly how glamorous it is. To put it simply, drumline shows you the bright side and pay the price shows you the darker side.
