Through energy efficiency and conservation, kids can help preserve our planet s rich natural resources and promote a healthy environment. TIP OF THE DAY All together now The word synchronization has many definitions and applications in our world. In DRUMLINE LIVE, synchronization the coordination of events to attain a single result enables a large number of performers to march and play in unison. Synchronization keeps trains running on a timetable, generates power, regulates traffic lights, and keeps our clocks, cell phones and computers in sync. Ask students for other examples of how synchronization saves energy and makes everyday living more efficient. Made possible through the generosity of the PSEG Foundation.

3 Sound-sational ON STAGE The blue and gold costumes pictured in a scene from DRUMLINE LIVE recall those used in the film Drumline, which inspired the stage show. By Lisa Vernon Sparks Thundering into NJPAC for a return appearance, DRUMLINE LIVE is an animated and interactive theatrical show combining the evolution of AfricanAmerican music and the story of marching bands at historically black colleges and universities (HBCU). The 32-member cast draws young talent from some of the top HBCU marching bands, such as Florida A&M University, Jackson State University, Tennessee State University, and others. Trained as stage actors, in addition to their specialties as instrumentalists, vocalists and dancers, they dazzle the audience with an all-out rendering of a traditional half-time show at an HBCU game. A highlight of an HBCU marching band is the drumline, the highstepping procession of percussionists in a marching band, presented not only as musicians, but as a living art form. We tried to put the HBCU experience on stage, says co-producer Reggie Brayon therefore the set resembles a college football field with stands. We do a little stepping. We put in a little theatrical flash, but we tried to keep it true. (The audience) will get an idea of the energy, the fun (and) the variety of the music performed. Right from the start, the show astounds by transporting audiences back to the origins of African-American music from its cultural roots in Africa to the great musical genres of the 20th century and beyond: funk, soul, blues, gospel, R&B, Duke Ellington, Aretha Franklin, Hoagy Carmichael, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Slick Rick, and Parliament-Funkadelic. The performers also create synergy with audience members by inviting them to come up on stage. We don t want people just watching us, Brayon says. We want them to get involved. DRUMLINE LIVE has made its way around the country, showing the thrill, the musical genius and the true flavor of the ever-exciting HBCU halftime show. The Star-Ledger and rap. The performance reveals the musical connection among these styles while infusing dance, song and theater. DRUMLINE LIVE is a historic musical voyage that demonstrates how unity comes from individual working parts, often under the leadership of a drum major s whistle, baton or hand gesture. The company, now on its fourth national tour, plays music from such artists as They get some choreography (to learn). For the finale, the band and the dancers strut into the aisles. The show closes in a roaring extravaganza, Mardi Gras style, outside Prudential Hall. Lisa Vernon Sparks is a staff writer with The Providence Journal in Rhode Island. She is a former professional ballerina and an alumna of the Dance Theatre of Harlem. njpac.org DRUMLINE LIVE 3
4 MEET THE ARTIST A musical journey Performing on trumpet sparked Don P. Roberts love of music and marching bands. Growing up in Atlanta, DRUMLINE LIVE creator and director Don P. Roberts first embraced the marching band experience as a trumpet player in middle school. Thanks to a high school teacher, who saw his potential for leadership, the young performer embarked on a career path in music. Still, he was surprised when a call came from music producer Dallas Austin offering him the job as band director and technical consultant for a new feature film titled Drumline. They came to me. I am not a Hollywood guy, Roberts recalls candidly of his involve I am a true band educator. I want to change kids lives in my community. Don P. Roberts At his alma mater, Florida A&M University one of the historically black colleges and universities (HBCU) Roberts studied music education and honed his skills as the band s drum major. He earned a master s degree at Jacksonville State University in Alabama and eventually returned to Georgia, where he taught and supervised marching bands in the DeKalb County school system. 4 DRUMLINE LIVE njpac.org ment with the 2002 movie, which starred Nick Cannon and paraded some of the country s outstanding HBCU band talents. I am a true band educator. I want to change kids lives in my community. The Hollywood experience was not only amazing for Roberts, it gave him an idea. Following the film s success, Roberts devised a way to bring the HBCU drumline experience to the stage. With Drumline colleague Demetrius Hubert and Reggie Brayon, he co-produced a 10-minute piece for the UniverSoul Circus. Originally called Halftime Live!, it became a sensation. The team attracted the attention of Columbia Artists Management Inc. and the show was retitled DRUMLINE LIVE. But don t be fooled it s nothing like the movie, Roberts notes. The movie gave you an idea of what the HBCU culture was about, he explains. Our show goes beyond the (traditional) halftime show. You re going to get gospel and how it relates to Usher and Mary J. Blige. It s up close. It is drums and dancers. Roberts says the show pays homage to the roots of African-American music through the platform of the HBCU marching bands. The storyline is the music, he concludes. You will have a walking history lesson. L.V.S.
5 Leading the march DID YOU KNOW? In a traditional marching band, the drumline is the segment that features the percussion instruments. This section, with its own styles of dance and music, is the most unique in the band because it can perform a complete show by itself or be a featured highlight to the main halftime show. As a result, the drumline lends itself to more creative choreography, musical styles and drill formats. Drumlines are popular in high school and college marching bands and are also found in drum and bugle corps and pipe bands. In 2002, the drumline concept gained notoriety with the release of the movie Drumline, which showcased the legacy of marching bands from historically black colleges and universities (HBCU). In DRUMLINE LIVE, the drumline is a crucial part of the stage production; producers say it is really the band s identity. The traditional high-stepping style of marching is like a dance routine. It is a very different approach than what is seen in military corps style. Learning the drumline style is not as easy. The musicians are executing complicated formations and precision drills involving movements such as the high step (point and drive) and the glide (roll step) while playing a heavy instrument. The drumline has two main parts: the battery and the front ensemble. The battery marches on the field as a unit. The instruments include snare drums, tenor drums, bass drums, and cymbals. The drumline is the heart and pulse of the band and keeps the marchers and the sound flowing in a rhythmic, melodic progression. The front ensemble stays in a set position. The instruments typically featured are xylophones, marimbas, cowbells, chimes, and timpani. Other sections in a marching band supporting the drumline include the brass section with its trumpets, trombones and French horns and the woodwind section composed of saxophones, flutes and piccolos. At college football games, HBCU bands are known to perform pre-game and at the halftime and fifth quarter (after-event). Historically black colleges and universities trace their beginnings to Pennsylvania, The drumline at Tennessee State University is one of the most prestigious among HBCU marching bands. more than two decades before the end of slavery. In 1837, Richard Humphreys, a Quaker philanthropist born on a plantation in the West Indies, founded the Institute for Colored Youth in Philadelphia. There, free people of African descent were taught to become educators. The school relocated to farmland 25 miles west of Philadelphia and was renamed Cheyney University of Pennsylvania. However, the first of the HBCU to grant degrees was Lincoln University in Chester County, founded in 1854 as the Ashmun Institute. By the beginning of the 20th century, some 85 schools had been set up by white philanthropists, free blacks or churches to teach the children of former slaves. The HBCU were the best option for most blacks seeking higher education until about 1954 when the U.S. Supreme Court ended the separate but equal mandate in the landmark Brown vs. the Board of Education decision. The Higher Education Act of 1965 defines HBCU as any historically black college or university that was established prior to 1964, whose principal mission was, and is, the education of black Americans, and that is accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or association. The early HBCU marching bands were created to raise funds. Some historians believe that the first marching band was at the Tuskegee Normal School (now Tuskegee University). Other early African- American collegiate bands include Florida A&M University, Alabama State University, Tennessee State University, and Jackson State University. Today there are 105 public and private accredited HBCU. In addition to four-year institutions, they include community colleges and medical schools. L.V.S. njpac.org DRUMLINE LIVE 5
6 In the classroom marching bands through competitions: the Florida Classic, Honda Battle of the Bands and the Bayou Classic, all of which attract up to 50,000 attendees. Ask students to write letters to their favorite marching band for additional information. (1.1, 1.2) Before the Performance Actively engage students in learning to identify the percussion sections of a marching band through pictures and taped sounds or CDs. Use a projector or hang reproduced pictures of the instruments in the classroom. The Battery Section the group first marching onto the field. Percussion instruments include snare, bass and tenor drums with cymbals. The Front Ensemble the section of the band that doesn t move. The instruments include mallets, xylophones, marimbas, congas, calves, bongos, tambourines, and gongs. On another day, clear a space in the classroom or use the gym to have students practice marching fun. Familiarize students with the fundamental marching band steps: High Step/Point and Drive lifting one s knees very high with a pointed toe. Glide or Roll stepping gently on the heel with the toes pointed up and then rolling forward onto the toes before lifting the foot. Floating everyone moving together. Flanks military formation (to the left, to the right, to the rear march, etc.) Marching Time marching in line. Teach and then drill students on musical terms and the instruments utilized in a marching band. (Consult the DRUMLINE LIVE Study Guide at drumlinelive.com.) 6 DRUMLINE LIVE njpac.org Give students the task of simulating a marching band and drumline. Divide the classroom into two groups. Each group selects a leader to brainstorm and create a name, formations and music played. Give students time to practice their simulated marching band (after school, a weekend, during lunch). Suggest that the groups participate in a Battle of the Bands. Invite other classes to see the battle. Share the band battle idea with other classes in the school to continue the momentum. As a reward, throw a pizza party for the students and listen to recorded band music. Offer a prize to both groups. (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4) * After the Performance 1. With the DRUMLINE LIVE performance fresh in their minds, have students summarize their experience verbally. Write the key responses, words, impressions, or critiques on the blackboard or overhead projector. Review each recollection. Conclude this flashback activity by giving students 10 minutes to write a few paragraphs about their experiences. Read and post the comments on a bulletin board. Back to the computer for research. Lead students through a Google search to familiarize themselves with the premier HBCU (historically black colleges and universities) marching bands. Searches might include Southern University and A&M College, Grambling State University, Jackson State University, and Tennessee State University. Encourage students to continue their Google search to investigate the celebration of HBCU 2. Introduce students to a free-wheeling game: Crazy Marching Band. Students imitate the sounds heard in a marching band s brass, woodwind and percussion sections. Students march in formation to a selected song or orchestration while making the sounds of the instruments. Beatboxing can be used for the percussion sounds.

7 Teaching Science Through Music (Grades 5-12) By Timothy and Katrina Macht Music originates as sound. All sound is created by vibration. The vibrations from a vibrating object are sent to the eardrum. Our eardrums vibrate when they come into contact with vibrating air, and the brain recognizes it as sound. Sound has two variables, volume and pitch. Volume can be loud or soft with all gradations in between. Pitch is high or low with all gradations in between. Loudness or softness is in direct proportion to the size of a vibrating object s back and forth motion. A narrow, limited back and forth motion will produce a small sound. To increase the volume, a larger, wider back and forth motion must be created. Pitch is governed by frequency (the number of times the back and forth motion occurs in a second). Every sound has a distinct pitch. NJ Core Curriculum Content Science Standards state that all students will gain an understanding of natural laws as they apply to motion, forces, and energy transformations. The exercise below investigates how sound becomes music. Pair off students. Give each pair a rubber band. Have one student stretch the band between his/her index fingers. Have the partner pluck the rubber band. Listen for volume and pitch. Now pull the band further back before releasing it. Was the sound produced louder or softer? Have the student holding the band stretch it tighter to create tension. Pluck the band again. Was the pitch produced higher or lower? Does the pitch change as the band is stretched even tighter? Now explore the differences between noise and music. Ask students to listen as you strike a ruler on the top of a table. Ask them if this is noise or music. Next, use the ruler to tap out a song. Though it may still be perceived as noise, ask the students if anything in the way you strike the table has changed. (Is there rhythm? Is there cadence? Are some taps louder and others softer?) Though they probably won t be able to distinguish the song, they should be able to notice the difference between the first series of taps and the second. Remind students that not only true musical instruments create music. Almost any object can make music to someone s ears when you alter the volume, pitch, melody, cadence, and rhythm. In the past, people did not always have a piano, guitar or drum available. Music was made with pots and pans, ribbed washboards, blocks of wood, and jugs filled with varying levels of water.
