The previous post sent me off to YouTube to find drumline videos. I've got the hunger again. This post is for me, a place to keep some of my favorites.
Some basics:

Florida A&M University on the field. Can't see the hands, but still good.

This is a practice. Very bad sound, but very good example of what FAMU does better than anyone else - watch the hands! Precision! The Rockettes couldn't do it as well. Note that they're passing sticks to the guy next to them down the line without missing a stroke.

The small city across the river is a stop on the junior corps tournament tour, and all day before the evening competitions, you find them on lawns, in parks, in parking lots all over uptown, doing exactly this. Note the feet moving. On the field, they move constantly, and FAST!, in and out of patterns.
Blue Devils:

Perfection. Notice the camera shots at rim-level - the sticks are all the same height!

(They have a fault - they look down. They should never look down.)
