Drumline: A New Beat (2014)

In Drumline: A New Beat, Danielle "Dani" Bolton, a spirited Brooklynite from high society, breaks free from her parents' expectations to chase the hypnotic rhythm of her dreams in Atlanta. Attending the renowned A&T college, her ambition is to ignite the fading spark of their once legendary drum line, whilst etching her name into its history as the first female section leader. Dani's journey, however, resonates with more than the drumbeat. She navigates a labyrinth of challenges from the dismissive upperclassmen, including her own cousin Tyree, and the fierce rivalry from the college across town. The drumline's rhythm intertwines with the pulse of her own heart as she grapples with budding feelings for Jayven, her band mate and competitor. Simultaneously, she's caught in a personal crescendo, striving to validate herself in the eyes of her father and her doubters, and in the process, carving out her identity. Drumline: A New Beat is an electrifying tale of a girl's determination to redefine traditions, face the music of her own heart, and ultimately, to find her own beat in the crowded symphony of life.

Drumline: A New Beat is a comedy movie featuring Alexandra Shipp and directed by Bille Woodruff.
