Drumline [2002] [DVD]

Set in the high-energy world of show-style marching bands in the Southern states of America, this coming-of-age comedy drama stars Nick Cannon as Devon Miles, a talented but arrogant young drummer from New York's Harlem who earns a scholarship to attend a university in Atlanta. Devon's incredible natural talent doesn't go unnoticed by the school's musical director, Dr Lee (Orlando Jones), but his streetwise and cocksure attitude start to get him into trouble. After a set-to with the drumline's disciplined captain, Sean (Leonard Roberts), Devon starts to learn that it takes more than talent to reach the top.
