Drumline Festival-2007
The Falcon Drumline performed at the Sandy Lake Fun-Fest Music Festival
on Saturday, April 28. They performed flawlessly and brought back a “Superior” rating
trophy, as well as an “Outstanding Drumline” trophy.
The full encore performance in the gym can be downloaded here in the podcast .m4v format (please be aware of bandwidth limitations when downloading longer videos).
The Drumline recently performed live on the CBS Early Show.
On Friday Aug. 3rd, the Bishop Dunne Drumline and Cheerleaders were invited to perform live at the Kelly Holcomb concert on CBS's Early Show. After the concert, "The Diesel" was asked to perform for the crowd as they exited Victory Plaza. "The Diesel" truly rocked Victory Plaza, with dazzling new cadences such as "Surprise," "Funk Train," "Gap," and "Head to Head," and we reminded them of how strong we were with solid cadences from last year like "Wheel Chair." They were so strong that 103.7 FM, which was airing live at the time, asked us to stop. We paused for a moment, and then started up again, marching and playing our theme cadence "Hard Time" as we passed them. All the while, America's #1 Hip Hop Radio Station 104.5 was on the air live. During their commercial break, they asked us to play when they came back on live. When they went live, "The Diesel" went live over the radio with our #1 cadence "Back It Up," and truly ROCKED DOWNTOWN DALLAS!
Mr. Beattie says, "I think I need a page just for the Drumline."
I thought you would like to see this picture of the BD Drumline as they just completed kicking off the American Heart Association Walk-a-Thon at Victory Plaza earlier today. They are accompanied by the Cedar Hill High School cheerleaders. They were so thrilled to dance to the music of Dunne's drumline, they walked through the drumline several times after the parade was over. They asked to take a picture with our kids. I am sending this from Mr. Robertson's email in the band hall as we are looking at the pictures. Photo and comments submitted by--David Small
