Drumline Live comes to Jacksonville

You may remember the movie “Drumline.” Now, you can see the drummers in action up close and personal on Saturday.

The Artist Series present Drumline Live will be held at the Times Union Center Moran Theater beginning at 8 p.m. There will only be one show. Organizers say the show offers an American Marching Band experience with a wide audience.

“We’ve taken the excitement of an HBCU football game halftime show, increased the intensity by a thousand watts, and created a musical journey that will touch every emotion,” says Don P. Roberts, Creator and Director of DRUMLINE LIVE. As the Executive Band Consultant for the Twentieth Century Fox hit movie, “Drumline,” Roberts was responsible for training the actors, writing the precision drills, and rehearsing the band. As the chief band consultant, he played a vital role in the making of “Drumline” and its success. The movie received national and international acclaim.

 Tickets begin at $32 and are on sale at www.artistseriesjax.org or by calling 904-442-2929.
