In a dimly lit, square room with a high ceiling and a row of multi-paned windows at the top of one wall, a drum corps is practicing. The corps consists of about a dozen members, mostly young men and one woman, all in dark attire. The woman stands at the front, wielding a baton and leading the group. The men hold various drums, some slung around their necks, and play along with the beat. A small audience sits in the foreground, their backs to the camera, watching the performance. Another man stands to the side, possibly a director or instructor, observing the group. The room appears to be a large hall or gymnasium with a smooth, light-colored floor.
