Drumline a new beat torrent8/30/2023 Additionally, the fictional A&T marching band is reminiscent of Florida A&M University's marching band that was disbanded and several members were prosecuted for the death of Robert Champion, one of it's members as a direct result of hazing. The college, A&T, while never mention in the film as such, appears to be an HBCU (Historically Black College and Universities) as the only white -or Asian, Hispanic- people are seen in the background and only briefly. And throughout the movie there is little if any, mention of anything to do with actual day to day requirements and the reason for attending college.(classes, grades, studying and earning a degree) just high school like drama of being in the marching band. The female lead goes from an ultra successful, intelligent, self assured but pampered high school senior inundated with full academic scholarships from top universities to lack-luster, insecure college freshman whose only goal, only passion is to play in a marching band at so-so college as a P1 drummer in the center of the front line. To say Drumline: A New Beat was predictable is, well, predictable.
