I didn’t know this movie, and I was thinking the story is some rock band’s tale. This movie is Devon’s youth and passion to music. Devon Miles is this story’s concerns, and a teenager who was admitted to Atlanta A&T University by scholarship. He lived with his mother, but his father estranges by divorce. He drove for a musician, but gave up it, so Devon didn’t want to repeat his mistake. Devon really loves drum and music. He was very proud of his talent, and put too much confidence in himself. He often disturbed A&T band’s teamwork. The teamwork emphasized “One band, one sound” concept, so Sean Taylor who is Devon’s percussion leader, begins to grow weary of Devon’s cocky attitude. He and Devon have but he didn’t want to give Devon more playing time because he felt his respect is lacking and nerve attitude.
However, Lee was impatient about present condition, too. The school’s president said “You should change your music’s focus or lose your funding.” His team couldn’t get championship recently in contest because he strained to play classical music and rival school announces pop music and performance.
One day, it was known what Devon can’t read music. That is to say, he told a lie by Dr. Lee, and it was when the situation further deteriorates Lee until he can become to read music. Devon started to have class, but he couldn’t read music. He was finally kicked out the A&T by Dr. Lee, and he has been hated by his teammates.
Devon was in love with Laila. She belongs to dance group. She often advised him, and said “We can’t do only what we don’t want to do.” Her saying was right, but Devon got frayed. Devon’s father helped Devon. He sent some music tapes. Devon always listens to them, and practiced drum. When Sean saw Devon’s serious attitude, he decided to help he can read music and arranged their music. The music which Devon and Sean made was mixed classical music and pop music. Dr. Lee decided to use it in next contest, and improved his character. They each improved each bad point. Devon and Sean must have been at odds, but they admitted each other.
A&T rival school Morris Brown College plays well, but it wasn’t the real music. A&T played their performance. In the result, A&T won and awarded the contest. Dr. Lee said “Enjoy your play. Just, it’s your music time” when A&T started to play. Devon also enjoyed playing. Their motto is “One band, one sound.”
I thought human can’t do any alone. Music also consists of a lot of sounds and harmony. Teamwork is essential element for harmony and diary life. We are each different, but must not be too different. We should adapt ourselves to each function. The function also needs for us. “Drumline” have the movie which has a lot of important messages.
