DrumLine Live Brings the HBCU Halftime Show Back to the Stage in 2013

December 12, 2012 by Stephanie Gallardo

Following it’s hugely successful inaugural tour in 2008-2009, and its subsequent successes in the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 seasons, DrumLine Live is gearing up for the launch of its 2012-2013 season, scheduled to commence on January 9, 2013 at the Mary Stuart Rogers Theater in Modesto, CA.

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have a longstanding tradition of excellence in the marching band arena. Anyone who’s ever witnessed a halftime show at an HBCU football game knows just how thrilling and intense live band performances can be. DrumLine Live brings that same enthusiasm and zeal to the stage – kicking it up several notches and taking the audience on musical journey that includes not only traditional band music but also the sounds of Motown, classic and contemporary R & B and hip hop.

Though HBCU marching band competitions have long held a place in the hearts of dedicated fans, with the largest competitions in the U.S. drawing upwards of 60,000 attendees annually, the depiction of some of the most heated competitions in contemporary film and television has brought increased interest to the sport in recent years. The film DrumLine, in particular has sparked enthusiasm in the hearts and minds of many across the nation, fueling the continued success of the DrumLine Live performances.

The DrumLine Live show brings the best of the HBCU marching tradition to the stage, with impressive athleticism and showmanship. Audiences are taken on a musical journey that touches on every emotion.

The 2012-2013 season continues with performances at multiple locations in California in January 2013, followed by performances in venues throughout 18 other states in just the first quarter of the new year.
