Watched online, good print.
~67 songs in the Soundtracks, many performed by marching bands, some percussion only.
Good film for its title subject. A little undecided about whether NC would play or not (he's a renegade & got himself disqualified, but they put him on the field in clinches). Not sure that he's learned the right lessons about being a team player, although he does bring the band a new song to perform, even though he's supposed to sit on the sidelines during performances.
Yes, NC is the future host of America's Got Talent (2009-16), among lots of other stuff.
Rated 5.7 (31,275)
