one of the most influential films from my childhood, instilling in me a deep love for marching band, and music created by a unit— later becoming the blueprint for how i played my own snare in marching band, challenging other kids to drum-offs for fun. I never considered the film to be great as I grew older.
Upon a rewatch, it's clear there's a lot of love, refreshing love, given to this movie. Shot on 35mm and oozing with that…
