librasoul22,

I read about this movie on mtv.com. The film's executive producer is Dallas Austin, who produces most of TLC's albums. Here's a link where you can read more about this movie and the other movies that he has lined up. I think both this movie and JELLYBEANS sound interesting.

Gina I did a split so this could have its own little flow. But I am looking forward to this movie too.

I read the article and I say KUDOS to DALLAS for his insight and innovation.

After seeing the preview for this film, I can't wait. I'm finally happy that "we" as a people keeping rolling out the positive films.

I saw the previews for this movie and I'm really interested in seeing this movie. It brought back some memories about going to a HBCU football game and just the HBCU experience.

i can't wait for DECEMBER 13th! Everybody please go and support the movie.

i actually had an opportunity to see an advance screening, and the movie was GREAT. i am definitely going to spread the word, and y'all should do the same. A word of advice, though:

i feel sorry for the person who goes to this movie with a bunch of band members or TBS and KKPsi... they WILL be cutting up the whole entire show!

DRUMLINE = December 13th

The website is nice. I still need to view the trailer but it also shows who is on the soundtrack.

Hey,
I have been watching the commercial trailers for Drumline closely and I noticed something and I wanted to ask you all about it. In a part of the trailer they are at a party, and they show some guys in all blue doing what seems to be a party hop or just steppin at a party, and then they show these females in all red tops and black bottoms that are doing the same thing. Are they supposed to be portraying Sigmas and Deltas in the movie, and if so do you all know if they are really members or just actors in blue and red?? Just a question/observation, because I thought that it would have been cool if they were using real members, in the movie.

BET (sorry guys) had a special on last night. The main female lead, played by Zoe S., is part of a ficticious sorority in the film that's called Sigma Phi Alpha, I believe. They showed her in a different scene where she had on a crossing jacket and those were the letters. As for the guys, I didn't see them.

the guys in blue are actually member of Kappa Kappa Psi National Honorary Band Fraternity. members of the fraternity were active in the making of this movie - and there are scenes where the letters are displayed prominently.

Hey thanks, I was wondering about that. I had heard of Kappa Kappa Psi but I didnt know of their colors. Thank you for clearing that up for me BLUTANG, and thanks to you to Gina1201 for clearing that up about the ladies as well. I wonder why they didnt use real Black Greek organizations in the movie, and think that it would have added to it since it is talking about an Historically African American school, and other than the bands, Greek Letter Organizations are among several of the main things that HBCU's are known for...other than academics (of course

). Oh well......I will holla at you all later....

You're welcome!

AS far as using real BGLOs I'm not sure. Maybe it's because the main school is Drumline is a ficticious school? I know on the AKA forum there was a discussion about it and I think some of the members appear as extras in the crowd during the stadium scene.
