Drum line is about a boy named Devon, who graduated from high school and entered a college to join the drum line a marching band. Yes, I can say that it's also about a marching band.
My favorite scene is when Devon and the captain of drum line, whose name is Sean, were fighting. Devon used to think that he was the best player and other members including Sean should follow him, so he often looked selfish. One day, he started a fight with another college because of their provocation and he was given a warning and after that, it was found that Devon could not read music. He played music by only listening to music. That was great but was cheating because he pretended to read music, and all members thought he could. He was depressed in his room. While he was in his room, he received a package. It was from his father, and there were some cassette tapes. He wanted to listen to them, so he went to the practice room because there was a cassette tape player only in that room. Then, he came across Sean. Sean told Devon that it wasn't his room, and they started to fight. The fight was showing their skills at playing the drum. At the end, Devon won and Sean was impressed that Devon was the winner, but Sean said him "Okay, then you can play alone." The comment made Devon realize that, in marching band, all the members played music.
However, the fight also gave Devon a person to recognize him. In other words, after the fight, Sean and Devon recognized each other. Devon knew that his way of thinking was wrong. He was the best player but, in marching band, there were other players and all members including him played the SAME music. Sean also thought that Devon's skill was great in spite of not being able to read music. They started to make the music for the next competition and apologized to Dr. Lee, who is the leader of their marching band.
Before the fight, Devon often pushed his lower lip out. It may express his discomfort and his vanity. He thought that he was a best player, but he also worried about being found out that he couldn't read music. The vanity means that. After the fight, Devon tended to laugh and he was on mind of another.
I think that Devon was happy to be released from his secret and to find a person who recognized him. And I can say that for not only Devon but also me. When I have any secret or stress, I tend to express my discomfort. But, if I can see a person who recognizes me, I can be happy and don't have steel myself so much. So, I think that it is important to find someone who recognizes me.
