That movie reaks of all things that suck.
No one gives a rats a** about snare drums... Its all about tenor drums...
And ya.

haha, i just got back from seeing chappelle (dave chappelle) stand up man at the college here, and that nick cannon guy was the second guest before dave, and he got boo'ed off soooooo fast. the first guy was funny as hell and had to come and save him like 5 minutes through. his lines consisted of "man i got so high the first day of high school man. i was like just in math, and the math teacher kept picking on me and was like, you take $8.75 and add $7.25 to it and what do you get?". you suck, biatch.

The BET Classic was created for the movie. It's not a real competition. The bands were put together by choreographers and music directors.

i don't know man. he got booed off and didn't even last 5 minutes. he rambled on joking about walking dogs or some stupid **** and nobody knew what he was talking about. the first guy had to come on again and save him, but he was funny as hell though. chappell was awsome.narud said:what were they thinking bringing him out there. he was horrible

I had to sit in front of those things for 4 years of marching band. I had to switch from saxophone to bass because I couldn't hear anything over 500 hZ anymore.
Bastards.
the most ridiculous part was when they had those little things that they hooked up to the drum and it transcribed the playing. Then the guy played this supposedly hard (but not actually hard) thing on the drum and there were all these different notes and accidentals up the wazoo. Unfortunately, snare drums play different rhythms, not different pitches
Also, what was up with the ending? How could they possibly have a tiebreaker that only involves one section of the band? Especially since there are always way more winds than percussion...they left out most of the band in that tiebreaker!
Supposedly, it's usually entertaining for people who know nothing about marching band, but I think that anyone who's been in marching band knows that it's a mockery. I guess it's the same for physics and movies like The Core.

That movie was awful, we were forced to watch it in my music class. I found it weird that the band camp was run like the army. Why were they running laps and doing push-ups on the field? Shouldn't they have been like, I dunno, practicing their instruments maybe?

they didn't even do the tricks.. they sped up the tape to make the things go faster

i gotta agree man. i don't care what it is, i don't want to pay $15 (with snacksBrendan said:

Actually, it's very common for people in marching band to run laps and do pushups, especially in drum lines. Some people I know were in the "B" corps of a drum and bugle corps or whatever they call it, and they did tons of pushups. The "A" corps, which was one of the top drum and corps in the country did a lot more.
