These performers with the yellow and blue costumes were part of Drumline which performed in our town yesterday at the MSU Riley Center.
From the Riley Center website:
The show-stopping new attraction marching band DRUMLine Live brings the black tradition to the theatrical stage for the very first time. Featuring a large cast of colorful and flamboyant performers from America’s top historically black colleges and universities, the production presents the rousing and rhythmic sounds of the great brass past including Earth, Wind & Fire and Tower of Power side by side with the hottest contemporary hip-hop and R&B. A glimpse into an American experience that many have never seen before, DRUMLine Live showcases a historic tradition that is alive with intensity.
This was one of the best shows I've seen. The performers were very enthusiastic and there was lots of audience interaction. If you are interested in seeing if they will be performing near you, click here. I highly recommend this group of performers!

Diane, we saw the movie Drumline and enjoyed it immensely. I would love to see a live performance. I know it was awesome.
Like your first commentor, I've seen the movie, "Drumline" and I loved it! What energy...made me want to get up and move!!! I would give anything to see the real thing! I bet it's incredible!
What a wonderful photo! I love yellow and blue together - and that yellow is so bright! Great shot for Blue Monday.
I've never heard of Drumline-how very intriguing! It sounds like a lot of fun to watch.
Happy Blue Monday!
I'll bet you had a blast. Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.
Hi Diane. Lucky you to see such a fun performance. I adore anything with music. This sounds fantastic.
My small little town has a play every year and it is usually a musical. We have some wonderful talent here in little old Franklin.
Have a wonderful day.
Hugs...Jeanne
Looks like fun! Drumline was a good movie...it did make you want to get up and dance!
Awwww they have already been in Oklahoma City....rats!!!
Love watching marching bands as well! My daughter was in our high school one for awhile, but to be honest with you, the competitions were oh so boring. Nothing like what you were describing or what I see on TV. Maybe I should send a link to your blog to the band teacher! Great post!
Oh I have seen them...they are from Georgia and I love them. I acyually saw the movie about them and if you haven't you ought to check it out. Really a good movie also...
I am sure this was an incredible show and the costumes are so nice and bright and there is certainly blue there!
Have a great Monday

This looks great! My BFF's daughter wants me to go see this with her when it comes to Lakeland. On your recommendation, I really want to go now! Thanks, D!
Happy Blue Monday!

I just love the photo and would go based on that alone! :-)
I bet they were awesome! I'm pretty fond of the Ohio State Marching band myself ;D
I grew up a block away from a football field in Western Kentucky and back when I was a kid they had band compitions that would find me sitting at the end of the street enraptured...lol!
Happy Blue Monday!♥
very cool! I'll bet you had an awesome time!
Diane, This looks really interesting! Happy Blue Monday to you! ~hugs, Rhonda :)
What a wonderful photo..from that alone, I would love to see them. Thanks for sharing,...and have a Happy Blue Monday.
