* HilariousInHindsight: Devon's line "I don't have a whole bunch of kids runnin' around" is impossible to take seriously anymore, given that, since the start of TheNew20s, Nick Cannon has fathered ''seven'' children and counting (and he already had three by that point, for a total of ten).

* WhatAnIdiot: Many fans of the film feel this way towards the judges of the competition at the climax of the movie, feeling that the initial performance of Morris Brown's Band was not as good as that of A&T's and that it wouldn't make sense for there to be a stalemate. [[MST3KMantra Regardless]], it wouldn't have been as interesting if there was no stalemate, and having the former's performance written the way it was exemplified their tendency to rely on showboating instead of working hard with each other like A&T does.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: In a movie focused around marching bands, there's bound to be a lot of this. The ending competition is full of it.

* YourMilageMayVary: Talk to somebody who has played in a RealLife drumline, and they'll tell you that this isn't anything like it.
** However... several posters on IMDB (whom display detailed knowledge on music) insist that the film is accurate in it's portrayal of marching band performances from certain, particular states and schools. Likely there are regional differences in style and showmanship.
** There is one nod to actual drumline etiquette, where playing on another drummer's drums is a big no-no. In the movie it's enough to start a fight at a game.
