Let me provide a little context for this video. I was in Sussex Tech's band this year (graduated in 2017), and I'm somewhere in this video in the back. This year was the BIGGEST our band ever was, and probably the most talented drumline we had, either this year or the next. We did a drumline battle with Dover every year during 3rd quarter. Out of all HS bands in Delaware, only three were styled after HBCUs - ST, Dover, and Smyrna (although Smyrna may have changed things up a bit recently). The former directors of ST and Dover - Harvey Bullock and Lenny Knight respectively - were best friends and college roommates at Delaware State University. Their dream was to run the DSU band together. Thus, a friendly rivalry began between the two high schools after both of them became directors. Bullock was diagnosed with bone cancer my freshman year in late 2013, and had to quit while he made a recovery. Tech got a new director in 2014, Ian Kenney - a fresh grad out of Penn State University and former drum major of the Blue Band, to carry on the strong legacy of Bullock. While it had a rough start, he managed to pull together a fantastic program, which is what you're looking at now. He has since left Sussex Tech. Lenny Knight unfortunately passed away in March of 2017. Harvey Bullock WAS (read edit) the director at Delaware State University, fulfilling his dream with Knight watching over him. EDIT: Uhhh so apparently Bullock was caught doing some, uh, "stuff" with a dancer in the Del State band a couple years ago. Now he works as a brass instructor at a music store 💀

But, then again this clip goes to show that I guess with all of the fun that they're having; well damn, it makes me overlook some of the dirt haha. And that's what's up! At least they're having lots and lots of fun and that's all that matters. That's the way it should be!

The first drum line suffered from what I call “popcorn syndrome”. However, they were definitely cleaner than my high school snare line. But they used a LOT of arm movement. Use the wrists! Girl on tenors....amazing. Bass line, kinda sloppy but had a few good runs. Second drum line...some popcorn but a bit cleaner by far. Also, they looked more polished and practiced. Technique was good. You can tell the schools that have the money for band programs vs those that do not. My opinion, first drum line played something a bit more technically challenging. Second drum line kept it simple. Which equates to cleaner runs...less popcorn. Dover wins.

First the good i applaud these young men and women for getting out here actually using there talents Nd gifts to do something positive keep it up it will take your far The band in black in white : snares gotta clean it up guys would have been good but we’re all over Drum line in total needs more work rather than working on moves clean up your grooves and cadences before you start to add moves in , tenors def need to clean it up and work on your zones lower those iAds they not going anywhere choke back on the stick and work on stick heights Band in blue: work on being together some of the snares were looking at each other to figure out what’s next especially guy in the far left messed up but kept going good job bases clean it up you guys would have been great it it didn’t sound like the bass line was doing a flan when they were supposed to be together on beat quads good job held it down but stuck heights and control it’s not just about whacking Overall both drumlines did great and i applaud you both practice makes perfect keep working young ones you got this great job once again

Entirely unrelated but I love band uniforms! :D I've never seen one with a cape like Dovers! they look so cool!

Dover whooped ass in this battle. Great drumming by Dover.

Im actually impressed that they guy on ghe blue squad lost one of his sticks, kepts playing like he was holding an invisible drumstick and then smoothely recovered when handed one from behind 😳😳😳😳😳

The first band definitely watch some film on MDFS after watching both bands they definitely watched some film on HBCU'S bands and others. For high schools they both did a good job.

Thank you for sharing this. I loved it all..

Holy Jesus both drumlines were really good. You see the first half and go "okay, so these are the good ones that are gonna win." Then you see the second half as go "Oh..." Both of these drumlines are pros

When you thought it was your dover high school band but the colors are way different lmao. But this dover band is rly amazong. Better than ours
