“Buck Wild: If you’re up for marching band training, gather ‘round. Take a good look at this man. This black Adonis is known as God’s gift, A.K.A. Double G. You will know him and call him such from this day forward. I’m Buck Wild. We are your drum majors. Starting tomorrow, white T-shirts at all times. It’ll help us identify you as a crab who knows absolutely nothing. Maybe you’ll one day have the honor and privilege to wear the school colors. But for now, you’re as blank as the white T-shirts you’ll be wearing. Understand?

The Band: Yes, sir.

Buck Wild: UNDERSTAND?

The Band: YES, SIR!

Buck Wild: Get up to your dorms. Get well-acquainted with the rulebook. Dinner is at 6 o’clock in the cafeteria. And after that is night-night. You’re dismissed!

Devon: Man, I ain’t trying to have no curfew. But I know this spot where the girls are supposed to be banging. Y’all dance?

Ernest: Yeah!”

“Sean: Dr. Lee, got a sec?

Dr. Lee: Sure.

Devon: Hey, what’s up, Dr. Lee?

Dr. Lee: Mr. Miles.

Devon: Well, I was wondering—actually we were wondering—if you needed any entrance cadences for the Classic. Not that I’m trying to get back on the line or anything, I just want you to check ‘em out.

Dr. Lee: Oh...let me see.

Sean: Alright...the concept was all Devon’s.

Devon: Yeah, but my man Sean here had the structure on lock.

Sean: But the snare part, all the sticking...that’s the kid.

Dr. Lee: What, you two a couple now?

Devon: You got an old-school feel to it, but sometimes you’re gonna have to take it back.

Dr. Lee: It’s not a bad idea...not a bad idea at all.”

“Dr. Lee: You lied in your application, you lied at the audition where you play the required piece, and you lied to me.

Devon: I didn’t think it was that big a deal.

Dr. Lee: [hands some sheet music to Devon] Play that.

[sits down]

Dr. Lee: That’s the music for next week’s game and you can’t read it. And as far as I’m concerned, that’s a very big deal.

[compiles some paper and puts it back in his drawer]

Dr. Lee: I’m enrolling you in an applied percussion course.

Devon: But that gives me five classes!

Dr. Lee: Damn right it gives you five classes, it oughta be ten. Especially if you plan on getting back on the line anytime soon.

Devon: What do you mean, ‘get back on the line’?

Dr. Lee: I mean now, you’re a P4. If you cannot read music, you cannot be on my field.

Devon: But you can’t take me off the line; I’m the best drummer you’ve got! And can’t no class teach me how to do me?

Dr. Lee: Excuse me?

Devon: Doing me is what got me down here in the first place.

Dr. Lee: No, lying...is what got you down here. And if you don’t have the honor and discipline to learn your craft, then quite frankly Devon, you don’t deserve to be here.”
