An intimate portrait of the trials and tribulations of the students in a charismatic show-style high school marching band in Durham, North Carolina. Its predominantly African American members have high stepped through decades of American history. For Mike, Briana, Brittany and Eric the band is identity, achievement, culture, entertainment and family. Interviews with scholars, educators, alumni and other community members enhance the inspiring story of the Marching Hornets and archival footage gives us a glimpse into the past.
