The principle was rocking out( he was literally grinning from ear to ear. These kids are all under super pressure at that school it’s a very intensely academically rigorous place. Their talent is reflective of how hard the kids in the schools there work. He is immensely talented.

It's official in my book....the '13 Niskayuna Seniors DO ROCK! OK...this was June 2013. I grad. hi school in Arizona in '73....so what is that...40 years earlier. Free Bird came out just a few months after I grad. hs in '73....and I saw the original band Lynyrd Skynyrd do it live in different shows maybe 5 or 6 times during the years after that. I've heard Free Bird probably 200K times in my life since, and I STILL dig it. And I'll be honest....when that redhaired lead guitar player hit those particularly tough licks at around 5:25....the hair on my 67 yr. old arms came STRAIGHT UP, I'm not joking. Those guys nailed it pretty damn good.....especially for 17-18 yr. olds. Man, I'm glad I surfed into this! Hopefully they ALL got laid that night.....and have all gone onto the sane and steady pursuit of their dreams as now mid to late 20's men...likely with families. God Bless that entire school. So wonderful to see guys so much younger that dig the heavy rock we Boomers burned lotsa ganga to then, lol.

this made me cry. the joy on their faces, their incredible talent, the bittersweet venue that is a high school graduation... can't imagine how cool and proud they must have felt performing this for their peers, parents, and teachers. they absolutely smashed it!!! Beautiful video

GREAT just GREAT!! Every time I hear this song for the past 50 years (70 now), I tear up. I have my reasons - and yes, it has to do with a girl, after I returned home from the war. But today when I heard these guys knock it out of the freekin park...I actually cried. Well done men!

Great job! I lived up there back then. My most recent "viral" video is also "Free Bird" and the analytics indicated that this was one of the videos people would watch before and after, so they fed each other. Jeesh, these "kids" would be in their late 20's now. Awesome to finally find the match to my band's performance video. Rock on, and I hope they're still performing.
