How The Marching Band Performed
The Marching Band's Blurbs
About me:

Thibaut (Benjamin Lavernhe) is a famous orchestra conductor who learns he's adopted when he needs a bone marrow donor. That leads him to his brother Jimmy (Pierre Lottin), a school cafeteria cook who plays trombone in a local marching band. When the band loses its conductor, Thibaut steps in. Emmanuel Courcol directs this French drama. Two brothers, one band, a lot of brass.

Who I'd like to meet:

Anyone who played in a school band and still has the instrument in a closet.
