The show-stopping new attraction,
DRUMLine Live, brings the black
marching band
tradition to the theatrical stage for
the very first time.
Featuring a
large cast of energetic and flamboyant
performers from Americas top
Historically Black Colleges and
Universities, the production presents
the rousing and
rhythmic sounds of the great brass
past including Earth, Wind, and Fire
and Tower of
Power side by side with the hottest
contemporary hip hop and R&B.
The stirring sound of trumpets,
explosive choreography, and incredible
feats of
athleticism from the "steppers" and
dancers, will bring the audience to
its feet. But the
stars of the show are unquestionably
the talented group of African American
percussionists who form
the "drumline." The showdown of rhythm
and speed between
the "lines" will shock you with its
precision and pulsing force.
A glimpse into an American
experience that many have never seen
before; this historic
tradition is alive with intensity.
