A salute to quick thinking, band member lost his cymbal during the National Anthem (June 3, 2013)

[@JackieOwl94]

This kid is in his 20s by now, and I hope he is still as awesome as he was back then.

[@lt.spookycarrot1925]

Imagine messing up one time in band and then you get put on the local news

[@jimturner2795]

He didn't mess up

[@raterus]

This is CNN, so a nationwide news channel.

[@Markknightexeter]

Yep, there have been three main types of bad covid viruses, this would have been the one in the middle east at the time, I think they just called it sars at the time but they're all similar in that they are rna viruses.

I love how they sneak in a Cymbalta ad lomao

[@murphmurph2124]

Hold the other cymbal in front of drummer and he can crash with a stick, salute with the other hand

"He's only played the cymbals 3 times in his life"
Dude's cymbal-failure ratio is 1/3

[@Grandkids409]

Great job young man,Hope you are getting your pay as same as the person who sold the video and who also keeps reporting others who have tried to share the news video. Looks like theirs some lawsuits coming to that person for false copyright claims.

[@LInkinPark4life]

This has actually happened to me, but not during the anthem. I ended up switching to the snare drum while thinking

[@SydandLeah1313]

I went to the same school as him and I dropped a cymble in a parade

Ok I usually hate CNN but god that Cymbalta bit was comedic genius.

[@raterus]

His salute, while done with good intentions, was done incorrectly. His hand is in the wrong place, and way too curved. Salutes done during the Star Spangled Banner are also reserved for veterans and those serving in uniform.

[@michaellam9819]

Give the kid a break. Plus they mentioned he comes from a family of veterans so saluting to the national anthem was probably done by everyone he looks up to.

i've never watched something so cringe
