Espo Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Okay im sure you guys all know the drum line of students that play at all the home games this year. (Well at least i remember them at every game). I like it even watching every game on t.v you hear them. But the only thing that confuses me. Is that i noticed there all wearing former falcons jerseys!? i see D. Hall Dunn, Crumpler..? whats up with that maybe im missing something but if somebody can shed some light on that . That would be great. I mean They could give them all new jerseys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyblooz Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Obviously, they were given free jerseys and as was stated, they pulled them out of the "bargain bin" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1000# Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 The fans they show on TV that are still wearing #7 jerseys are more embarrassing than the Drum kids wearing old Dunn jerseys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozzie71 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 yeah.. one dude is always sporting his Ducket gem... i thought to myself just this week.. Arty cant spring for some new jerseys???

aerosmith67 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I don't have a problem with the kids wearing older jerseys, the 28's are now DeCoud's and I'm all for recycling perfectly good jerseys. I understand the complaints about the actual drumline, I'm not a huge fan of the exectution, the kids are good but I've come to dislike the way they use the drumline.

Wouldnt that be good advertising?? they are always getting on TV.None of them say Dunn, Vick, or Duckett on the back-they all say Drumline. I love the way they comb through all the tailgate parking lots playing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Purple Label Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 The drum line is awesome. Maybe we can get some horns out there too, and have a full marching band. It brings excitement to an NFL game. Professional games get a little boring every now and then. If you bring it that college atmosphere, it keeps people on their feet.

jonnyblooz Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I like the drumline. Atlanta is a predominately college football town, and I think it lends a nice element. I do miss the live band that used to do the bumper music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espo Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 lol How are they playing bad? Do they play at bad times? or just there skills are not that good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did someone say they were playing bad or at bad times? But, as a Percussionist, they are good. They play "corp-style" or "matched grip" which suggests there will be heavy "rudimental" cadences. I just wished they would look a little more serious. THEY CAN PLAY....for sure!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FALCONfan025 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Some of them are young but from what I can tell most look atleast 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a lot to do with their posture while they play as well. They are the MOST RELAXED Drumline that I've ever seen.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
