I know you said this isn’t how marching bands are (way too strict), but actually in historical black colleges, they are very much so like this. They take band very seriously.
Fun Fact: T.I. was actually supposed to be play Devin Miles but T.I. didn’t know how to play the drums so they decided to give it to Nick Cannon instead
@@mutantx2372 yes T.I. said it in a interview tbh Nick Cannon did the role a lot better and I also heard that they wanted Nick Cannon to be in the movie ATL as T.I role Rashad but he decided to do Roll Bounce instead cause they paid him more money for that movie T.I. did the role better with Rashad
28:42 The reason the fight broke out… at least, the way i understood it, was that playing on someone else’s drums is hella disrespectful. So when layla mentioned the “hoodlum” that started the fight… he technically did by playing on someone else’s drum That’s why at the end of the movie, when the morris brown drumline plays on devons drums, you can see him tighting his grip on his sticks cuz it was getting to him And they were about to do it back but didnt and dropped the sticks ontop of their drums to be like “we are better than you… we wont stoop to your level”
I only knew half of this one I knew the guy didn't like Nick playing on his drum and Morris Brown doing it Nick tightinning up on his sticks never knew it's seen as disrespectful
@@kingtech7917 Morris Brown doing it to Nick was definitely disrespectful. They did to get to him the same way he got to the big boy. Trying to cause him to snap out and cause his band the win.
@11:59 the fact they playing the jackson 5 and jason weaver played michael jackson in the jackson 5 movie is dope. And that michael jackson pick weaver out himself.
This is a fun fact about Weaver that doesn’t really have anything to do with Drumline, but I didn’t know he was the singing voice of young Simba in the 90s Lion King, but the acting voice was Johnathan Taylor Thomas
Fun fact: During the Classic performance at the end, I was in the stands during filming. It was filmed at the GA Dome in Atlanta and they invited all if not most of the high school marching bands in the area to attend. And yes, almost all the band members actually played their instruments/drums minus a few main actors in the film. Most of the band members throughout the film were either from local high school bands, alumni from college bands or current college band members.
as a former 1st chair/section lead, yes i made my section believe we were the mood and soul of the band and demanded top tier sound quality coming out of those saxophones. But uhhh, i made sure there was balance and didnt abuse my authority, i didnt want to be hated 😅 We did run laps or do push ups tho for being late to practice or just being foolish.
High school marching bands are alot different then College marching bands this is definitely an accurate representation of how strict they are at the college level
Nick Cannon saying he don't got a bunch of kids running around didn't age well now that he got like 30 kids out there. Charles ain't got no love in this like he didn't get no love in Remember The Titans.
I actually got into my school Drumline because of this movie. I played the Snare like he did. I can confirm my program was just like this, down to the military tactics. They had us marching all night to get stuff right. My school still has some of our Drumline videos on TH-cam that we uploaded.
Aye mj I was in marching band on the drumline too I joined because of this movie and it was damn near just like this cuz our director was from Southern University one of the best experiences of my life
The biggest thing that bothered me about this movie is that the guy that started the fight at the homecoming wasn’t arrested for what he did. Dude swung a lethal weapon at someone and we don’t hear about him being disciplined at all.
I am loving this comment section with everyone reminiscing on being in marching band either in high school or in college. Or just being in band in general. We all know that the Brass section was the best section. Especially if you played the Trumpet. 😎
Next to the marching band score, we also got music from: Jermaine Dupri Featuring Q The Kid * JC Chasez (Of N'SYNC) * Monica * Petey Pablo * Joe Featuring Jadakiss * Nivea * Trick Daddy Featuring Deuce Poppi, Tre+6, & Unda Presha * Alicia Keys * Nappy Roots * Raheem DeVaughn * Too $hort & Bun B (Of UGK) * Syleena Johnson * and Nick Cannon.
In elementary school in 4th grade I was in the band for a short time. I played the trumpet and I went to several band practices but eventually just quite because I didn't know how to read music and couldn't keep up. I regret not sticking with it.
I was in the 6th grade when this film came out. So many people wanted to be a part of the marching bands because of Drumline. I remember going to the theater with my family and it was packed like this was a blockbuster film when it was actually just a small budget movie that contained lots of entertainment. Bravo to the memories this movie made. Then I had the chance to watch it on DVD when it was released. These days of my childhood are truly missed. MJ since you watched this, you need to also watch Antwone Fisher. Another great drama film that also came out during the same month as Drumline: December 2002. Antwone Fisher is more so emotionally driven because it is based on a true story.
I was in college marching band for five years and while I can't say I loved every single moment of it, it really was the most camaraderie I experienced in school. Lots of good memories there. Played alto sax, and got the name Pappy 'cuz after my second year I was the oldest one by two years (there was a big shift in the alto line that year, got a bunch of Freshmen in while the rest graduated and I was the only holdover).
First and foremost I hope you feel better. It takes dedication to do something you might not physically feel like doing. Also drumline is probably one of my favorite movies from the early 2000's in my opinion, love don't cost a thing was cool, but I think this one is better.
I’m so glad you watched this one! I love this movie, especially growing up. It came out in 2002… I was 12 at the time (I’m 34 now.) My Mom took me and my friends to see it. We had a good time watching it. Anyway….. I enjoyed your reaction!! 🫶🏽🙌🏾
I played the trumpet in school band. Couldn’t read music either, luckily the guy sitting next to me was nice enough to write 1, 2 or 3 above the music note for whatever valves I was suppose to press at the time.
I was the orchestra version of Devon. I started playing bass in 6th grade and hid the fact that I couldn’t read music until almost high school. Knowing how to read music doesn’t suddenly make you able/unable to play, but it does make everything far easier
That was really awesome watching you respond to this. It was obvious that you have a connection to it with your marching band experience. It was really great. Thanks for an awesome reaction
I LOVE this film,a great movie for me,such nostalgic for me also. Wish they'd make another modern film about life at a black college and a tv show too.
That's why this channel is fun, you do the random movies you see almost no one react too. Some movies , like this one, i havent seen in years I never knew you were that short, then the pictures..... Would make for a hilarious picture standing next to me, being 6'4 😂
I love this movie and your reaction! I was in Marching band Junior and Senior year of high school in Atlanta. We were corps style marching and I do wish we could have played modern songs. That being said it, was fun playing alto saxophone and traveling for competitions. We won 1 of the 3 competitions and got 2nd in the other ones vs professional competition bands. Great bonding experience marching with 280 people as a band! Our drumline would always win playing against others after football games!
Wow. Impressed. I played trumpet in band too. I only continued through 8th grade though. Our program went downhill after our really good band director and his wife (also a director) left for another school. I really feel this movie as well. Especially since college was probably the favorite time of my life.
One of my greatest memories as a kid was going to the Superdome in New Orleans to watch my brother's band at Southern University perform against Grambling State at the Bayou Classic. The football game and battle of the bands are legendary here!😁
Was never in marching band. But ik college is way diff than high school. They would deff do this type of 💩. Especially if it was other students running these positions. 🤣
I remember when i was in the marching band from my freshman year to my senior i was on the drumline playing the tenor 1 base drum but i knew how to play the snare drum cymbals and the bass drum it was very fun i was a section leader to shouts out to potomac high school class of 2016 the pep rileys and foot ball games especially the home coming was always fun to perform shouts out to all my bandmates operation x drumline for life but yeah one band one sound unity thats what its all about ain't no one person over the group great reaction MJ
This will be a good reaction, when I was watching your reaction to the waterboy you mentioned you were in marching band I was hyped cause I too was in marching band and I’m hard of hearing, I got into marching band because of my older brother he too was in marching band we were both TUBAs 😎 and he showed me this film! Can’t wait for this reaction!
@MJ WITHOUT SPIDER-MAN The reason why I love the movie Drumline because when I was 2 years old I was playing the drums and following along with the movie Drumline, shout out to Nick Cannon salute!
"This is not how marching band is... it's not that strict.." Were you in a HBCU marching band? When I saw the tuba players running with their instruments over their heads, it looked more serious to me.
As a former middle school and high school snare drummer, I loved this reaction and hearing that you were a marcher as well!!! And I hated scales too 🤣🤣🤣 mostly cuz our director wanted the drummers to do scales on xylophone And yes it’s try series even someone plays on your drum, we take that as a huge sign of disrespect or bad juju
Love this movie! You can tell you actually really liked it!! You said u sick and not gunna talk 🤣🤣 but you can tell it was close to something you knew😎
My high school was the Patriots, and in band we had the tri-corner hats and the little capri pants with high socks like we were going off to fight the British in 1776 or some shit. If one person messed up on the marching, with those white socks the whole thing looked messed up, so you had to be perfect. Last I saw they switched to a traditional marching band uniform, which is a bummer, cause we were unique.
Nick Cannon saying he not like his pops in this movie cause he don’t have “all these kids running around” is WILD!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣
This move came out 22 years ago.
THEEE irony!
That line that he said definitely didn't age will because now he got a whole bunch of them
@chand911 nobody said it didn't
He jinxed his own future 😂
I know you said this isn’t how marching bands are (way too strict), but actually in historical black colleges, they are very much so like this. They take band very seriously.
I was thinking the same thing... it's nothing compared to high school band
@@sedrabrown1 Exactly! Completely different!
I was coming to say this exact comment... College band is totally different from HS, especially at an HBCU!!!
Drumline was a decent movie
Lol I just said the same thing before reading yours. They most definitely be super serious 😂😂😂
Fun Fact: T.I. was actually supposed to be play Devin Miles but T.I. didn’t know how to play the drums so they decided to give it to Nick Cannon instead
Wow. Didn't know that.
@@mutantx2372 yes T.I. said it in a interview tbh Nick Cannon did the role a lot better and I also heard that they wanted Nick Cannon to be in the movie ATL as T.I role Rashad but he decided to do Roll Bounce instead cause they paid him more money for that movie T.I. did the role better with Rashad
@Jared_thatdeep definitely.
@@mutantx2372me neither!!!!!😊😊😊😊
@@mutantx2372ain't that the truth since T.I. goes for Rashad!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊

This will always be an iconic movie!! So timeless!
I think that "push"...like boot camp and hell week 4 football e'er year, it's hard and it make you strong in spirit. #Unbreakable ❤

The drumline did not actually play. They had a professional drumline play even when they had the band competition
Get well soon MJ❤️❤️
I love this movie. It is one of those movies I can watch anytime it is on TV (that's the thing we had before streaming, kids!).
This, Get Rich or die trying 😂
as a former 1st chair/section lead, yes i made my section believe we were the mood and soul of the band and demanded top tier sound quality coming out of those saxophones.

I watched this movie so many times growing up I lost count
Nick Cannon saying he don't got a bunch of kids running around didn't age well now that he got like 30 kids out there. Charles ain't got no love in this like he didn't get no love in Remember The Titans.
@16:56 woooaaahh I've never seen this driving scene before! WHAT?? I'm so shocked LOL must be an added scene
i was thinking the same thing!!! like what is this the deleted scenes version??🤔 LOL thought it was just me
I actually got into my school Drumline because of this movie. I played the Snare like he did. I can confirm my program was just like this, down to the military tactics. They had us marching all night to get stuff right. My school still has some of our Drumline videos on TH-cam that we uploaded.
Whats the name of your school?
This and Underclassman are my favorite movies hes played in.
Aye mj I was in marching band on the drumline too I joined because of this movie and it was damn near just like this cuz our director was from Southern University one of the best experiences of my life
HBCU Band standards are on a different level.
When I was in the marching band at Howard University, I couldn’t march and play trombone at the same time either.. I was like, NOPE!! ✌🏾😂
The biggest thing that bothered me about this movie is that the guy that started the fight at the homecoming wasn’t arrested for what he did. Dude swung a lethal weapon at someone and we don’t hear about him being disciplined at all.
I like your jacket and hope you feel better soon, & this movie a classic 👌🏾🔥

It's marching bands here in the South that actually are like this. Jackson St, Famu, Alcorn etc....
In elementary school in 4th grade I was in the band for a short time. I played the trumpet and I went to several band practices but eventually just quite because I didn't know how to read music and couldn't keep up. I regret not sticking with it.
My music teacher showed us this movie at least once a week. I've seen this movie over 1000 times. No bs.
I mean I get that you should be able to read music but it’s still crazy to think that cannon’s character learned music by ear only is cray impressive
All the bands at the end cooked!🔥👌🏿
The drums were my favorite instrument when I was younger this movie had me hyped 💯
I was in the 6th grade when this film came out. So many people wanted to be a part of the marching bands because of Drumline.

Iconic movie and it's really ahead of it's time💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This Classic Movie Right Here is An All-Time Banger from Nick Cannon Alongside Love Don't Cost A Thing And School Dance💥🔥
One of favorite movies of all time! Loved it as a kid!
First and foremost I hope you feel better. It takes dedication to do something you might not physically feel like doing. Also drumline is probably one of my favorite movies from the early 2000's in my opinion, love don't cost a thing was cool, but I think this one is better.
Next nick movie must be Underclassman.
This one of my teen favs. I was showed this film in highschool band class 🔥🔥
I’m so glad you watched this one! I love this movie, especially growing up. It came out in 2002… I was 12 at the time (I’m 34 now.) My Mom took me and my friends to see it. We had a good time watching it. Anyway….. I enjoyed your reaction!! 🫶🏽🙌🏾
Love this movie, made me want to play the drums so much. Couldn't because too many kids were playing it 😢

I use to be in a marching band I played snare drum you are right being in a band is fun & it’s a thrill fr!
I played trumpet in marching band too! We got to go to NYC and march in the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade
People who love HBCUS like this 🙌🏼
The drumline was my release in the band then back to church for gospel music to get right!
fun fact Atlanta A&T uses the band of my highschool Southwest Dekalb thats why they are blue and gold
I LOVE this film,a great movie for me,such nostalgic for me also. Wish they'd make another modern film about life at a black college and a tv show too.
They made a show called the quad it was about an hbcu you might find interesting its 2 seasons on BET +.
35:25 somebody drunk unc at the family reunion
That's why this channel is fun, you do the random movies you see almost no one react too.
Some movies , like this one, i havent seen in years
I never knew you were that short, then the pictures.....
Would make for a hilarious picture standing next to me, being 6'4 😂
Finallyyyyyyyy I was waiting so long for thissssss
CHILDHOOD CLASSIC!!!!!!
Thank you so much MJ😁💯🥁💙💛👍👍
College..better yet HBCU marching is not High School or middle school….this is in fact accurate.
Music is 🤩. My ex/bm of 7 years was in the band in college Bethune Cookman. Trumpet. 😝🎶😏
Underclassmen is a slept on Nick Cannon movie 😂
This is my favorite movie of all time thanks for reacting to it 🙏🏾
You sounded a lot better by the end of the video, doing this reaction definitely helped lol love your vids MJ!
Not sure if you’ve ever experienced the HBCU band camp but this is definitely how it goes
I love this movie and your reaction! I was in Marching band Junior and Senior year of high school in Atlanta. We were corps style marching and I do wish we could have played modern songs.

Nick cannon actually played those drums💯💪🏾
Hope you feel better soon MJ praying for you 🙏🏾
We can do anything we set our minds to. Brilliant film!!!

All my life of watching this movie I never seen that car scene 😳how ….
That was deleted scene that was cut from the actual movie but I wish they kept in the movie
One of my greatest memories as a kid was going to the Superdome in New Orleans to watch my brother's band at Southern University perform against Grambling State at the Bayou Classic. The football game and battle of the bands are legendary here!😁
I was waiting on this reaction 🔥
Feel better soon MJ😊

Amazing reaction to Drumline

Wassup MJ always enjoy your videos and reactions and can't wait for more 😊😊
As a former middle school and high school snare drummer, I loved this reaction and hearing that you were a marcher as well!!! And I hated scales too 🤣🤣🤣 mostly cuz our director wanted the drummers to do scales on xylophone
And yes it’s try series even someone plays on your drum, we take that as a huge sign of disrespect or bad juju
