Play it forward for sure. Music is everything! Michigan rocks. I teach 5th grade and can't wait to show them this video.🥰

Aa! This is adorable:)) This is how i was about joining Marching band, now I'm actually in it! It's lovely and he seems really genuinely interested in it and that's sweet. Marching band really is such a fun experience and I hope he enjoys marching when he's older!

[@touchofgrey5372]

What a story! Then again, all of Steve's stories are great! Good luck Henry; I have no doubt you'll make the cut.

[@whitehouseonthehill]

How awesome! Go Big Blue!

It is amazing when a young person can map out their life so early. That does not come easily for most people. As comedianne Paula Poundstone used to say -- When adults ask kids what they want to be when they grow up, they are just looking for ideas. I salute anyone with musical talent. I don't have it. I can only go thru life listening to the music that others create.

Steve Hartman is the heart ❤ ♥ 💓 💙 of America.... Live Love Kindness Eternal

I remember back in 1972 when OGHS Patriot Band here in Escondido, CA came to Oak Hill Elementary and was so impressed by their drumline I became a section leader later for Orange Glen. YOU GO, HENRY!

[@lindagardenlady]

An inspiration in his aspiration!! ❤️❤️

[@jimmiller2529]

As a Michigan Fan, proud father of a UofM grad, an employee of the event staff at The Big House and frequent attendee at football games in A2 I will staunchly say that I go to the games as much to see that wonderful band as the games! That young man has a promise to fulfill! I have high hopes for him! Love The MMB!

[@andrewkimball2925]

I had the honor to play with the michigan marching band 2 times for honors marching band day at 2 home football games when i was in high school in 2015 and 2016 it was an amazing experience unforgettable.

[@marchingbandnerd8653]

This was so fun to watch, I reacted the same way when I saw my first university band.

[@aaronharris5069]

Keep working hard kid, and follow your dreams! No one can stop you! 〽️💛💙

[@randy007]

This was cool, dreams do come true

[@brittanyfischer1812]

How awesome for Henry

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

This is totally going to rock

[@rtlthemusician5598]

As a band kid who is in college hoping to become a marching band director someday, I’m so happy to know that there are young people out there interested in the marching arts, it honestly feels like the marching arts are dying which is really hard to think about

[@atlantic_love]

We have some programs here in Kentucky (high school) that used to be great, but have fallen by the wayside over the years. All the time there are job openings.

[@galady8632]

I had a huge smile throughout the video. I also shed a few tears. Henry will remember this for his entire life. So touching. (To this day I write letters and mail them. Numerous people have told me when experiencing tough times they wil reread my letters to brighten their mood a bit. The written words are timeless. As is the note sent to Henry. That will forever be a treasured keepsake.)

[@leftyspade]

Always Steve Hartman and this clip, thank you!

[@woksrandomchannel]

The sheer joy on his face is everything. ❤

[@kasockwell]

I cry every time I see this.

[@aaronharris5069]

Hail to the Victors! Go Blue! That's why they're the Leaders and Best. Michigan is the best school in the world! 〽️💛💙

[@thisguy73]

Leaders and best!!!!!!!!

[@bradykauffman9442]

Now, we have true form of a band kid.

[@tonyjones6847]

Very Very inspiring and heartfelt story ! May God bless you in all of your endeavors ! Blessings !!!

[@Speysider1962]

We need more of these feel good factors stories out here, in this mad planet.

[@TheRoxinatoR]

How sweet! ❤

[@emiliobello2538]

It would be great if there was an 11 year old who is a university student. Grant Feely should have that role

[@CheersNE]

You go Henry!

[@shoshannafachima1306]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤i love this🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵

[@boathousejoed1126]

Thanks for an uplifting story.Wish the news was all stories like this with an occasional "bad" story.

[@mrapexfims9267]

This is A Beautiful 😊

[@emiliobello2538]

It is. And did you notice my comment of 11 year old at university?

[@roof7518]

God bless you all

[@michaelbilgen2976]

Awesome!

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

I bet the band players were blown away by him. Usually the football players are the ones who get the lions share of attention. This kids enraptured gaze must have given them a renewed spark of pride. That was such a generous thing for them to do for this little guy. Although someone needs to remind him that he needs to get good drades so he can get into Michigan State and hopefully mom adad are saving their money for his tuition. With that dream firmly set in place I believe he’ll do it!!

[@atlantic_love]

What are drades?

[@tonyjones6847]

Go Henry !

[@lilymarie847]

💕💕💕💕

[@germanosorio7909]

Amazing video

[@KB_-_]

Go Blue!

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

Who knew that a Pre-Teen could join a Marching Band by inspiration

[@Abb1b3ean]

My flex is that my mom works for Henry’s parents lmao

[@patriciagurwitz509]

Dreams come true for those that believe Henry❤️

[@teaneck_]

He's gonna explode when he learns about dci and wgi.

[@JoshuaKimbrough]

Hopefully he will get a scholarship

[@katiewilliams5643]

Maybe he’ll change his mind when he sees the University of Notre Dames Band.

Even with the current dip in crypto currency's, I'm so happy I can smile back at my portfolio of $63,180 built from my weekly trade, I'm having my 4th withdrawal in 7 business days...

[@morehbarielka4872]

>Thats true most people today have been having a lot of failures in forex/crypto sector because of poor orientation. Myself I work with one "Ms.Belinda"

[@oitintinayzj6672]

I'm also a proud beneficiary! I've built my portfolio massively and still building.

[@joyhappy1022]

Trading successfully is when you got the right strategy. trading with Mrs Belinda strategy has brought me great success. I have never seen a strategy as consistent as his.

[@elementary2439]
