1. AFRICA "The Drum"
The opening scene pays homage to the Motherland. From the horn lines to halftime, from jazz to hip-hop, from America to Asia, there would be no “Drumline” and no HBCU marching band without Africa.

2. SHOUT IT OUT (Pep Rally)
Our drum majors will give you a little razzle and dazzle just to get things started. Be prepared for a big “SHOCK” as the band gives a high-energy rendition of “Shout It Out” from the hit movie, “Drumline,” during our pregame PEP RALLY.

3. AMERICAN SOUL
Our DRUMLine Live vocalists will perform legendary tunes from classic American Soul artists of the 1960s, ‘70s, and ‘80s, featuring the sounds of Tina Turner, the Supremes, the Temptations, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, and James Brown.

4. THE KING (The Best of Michael Jackson)
Michael Jackson brought his amazing talents to the football field through his performance at Super Bowl XXVII and halftime shows have never been the same. Be prepared to “Beat It” with DRUMLine Live as we give you a “Thriller” highlight reel from the King of Pop.

5. "DRUMLine" BLING
These drummers are hip and magical. Check out their flashy stick work as they perform drumline cadences to the top tunes of today’s hip-hop music.

Intermission

6. SNAP YOUR FINGERS
The pageantry of HBCU marching bands has been influenced by the sounds of jazz, ragtime, and big band music. Snap your fingers as you watch our old school marching band perform classics popularized by musicians of the early 20th century.

7. EXPRESS YOURSELF
At HBCUs the best musical moments sometimes occur on the football field before or after band practice. Watch our virtuoso drummers, dancers, and musicians express themselves through music and dance.

8. IT's HALFTIME!! (Salute to Prince Rogers Nelson 
and Luther Vandross)
Ladies and gentlemen, you are about to witness the sensational, the astounding, the breathtaking, and “The Greatest Show On Stage!” Nothing can prepare you for what you are about to see. Welcome to “HALFTIME” with a special salute to PRINCE and Luther Vandross!!!

9. THE BATTLE
The drum battle begins with each extraordinary percussionist demonstrating spectacular style and technique. However, there can only be one champion. We’ll let the audience decide!

10. FUNKY FOOT WORK (From Funk to Hip-Hop)
The DRUMLine Live band will climax the “Halftime” dance routine with dazzling choreography and musical selections that highlight the best hip-hop music of the ‘80s, ‘90s, and 2000s, with a special tribute to the Queen Bee, Beyonce’.

11. COME JOIN THE PARADE (Postgame Party)
As the football game ends, the POSTGAME PARTY begins. Most HBCU homecoming parades and postgame parties resemble the huge street celebration in New Orleans, Louisiana called Mardi Gras. It’s time for everybody to join the parade and party in the aisles with the DRUMLine Live Band, HBCU style!

Meet us in the Lobby!!
We would like to meet as many of you as possible to say
THANK YOU for supporting DRUMLine Live, The Greatest Show on Stage!
