Title made it sound like a kid tried to skip band class, teacher kills him.

when the challenged kid sounds the best in the entire class.

The percussion’s fine- In fact, the kid’s quite good, but the brass, I’M LOOKING AT YOU, LOW BRASS, was God-awful

* reads the title * Me: why did this kid wanna quit the band? * listens to the band play “music” * Me: Oh....

I'd quit this band too

Okay, that band makes terrible music, but it is not this kids fault it is the half the kids who don't ever practice.

Ethan is probbably the best person in that band. The band sounds pretty bad. But I do really feel like he does well.

The band teacher is a good person. 75 different apps in one night just for him

That moment you realize... It was a high school band all along...

My gosh that band needs to tune before It performs, that's the number one thing to do before you start if you don't want to sound like crap. That kid was great at drums btw

Me: hears them play *thinks that they're okay for first week 6th graders* *finds out that its a high school band* Me: .....

0:10 AHH MY FLUTIE SECTION PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FIX YOUR ANGLESSSS

They sound terrible..good lord. But that was nice of the teacher to do that for him.

anybody else saw the thumbnail and title and thought that the kid wanted to quit, so the teacher threw him down some stairs or something?

That music is hard to listen to.

Im sorry, but that low brass is making me cry

Dude sounds way better than the brass players, that's for sure.

From the title I couldnt tell if the band teacher was the good guy or bad guy.

This is one of the absolute best uses of technology I've ever seen. I can't love this story enough. What a truly inspired teacher. More like this please.

For the anthem, I think it’s just me, but... Why did they put the trombones in the front?? Just me?? Ｏｋａｙ

I thought this was a video about a bad student and what a teacher does to him when he tries to quit

The title of the video made it sound like the band teacher forced the student to say in band against his will

0:16 holy crap thats the worst sounding school band i've ever heard

1:34 omg wtf were those supposed to be legato or slurred? That sounded like a soup

For a high school band, they are really not good at all.

Who else thought that this was like a kid being bad and quits but the teacher makes him stay vid?

The world needs a lot more teachers like her

Bro my middle school band sounds better then them lol

jeeez this band sucks. i understand why Ethan wanted to leave lmao

Jesus Christ when I just saw the caption and the thumbnail I thought the teacher had beat the kid up and he broke his neck or something

2:35 that drum roll sounds like a car struggling to start

Bravo to this band teacher. She gave him a chance of his life. The world needs more band teachers like this.

that band sounds like absolute shit but hes pretty good at the drums (from the tiny amount of footage we got anyway)

I guess you cant have a nice band teacher and a good one at the same time...

I thought this was about a bad kid but then I realize he’s special needs

0:16 This is worst than the toy band

SOMEONE GIVE THAT TEACHER TENURE!!

I am disappointed at those who are unable to see the message of this wonderful article. Look beyond the music to the message of participation being possible for everyone. Quality of music is secondary to the teamwork demonstrated by the people involved. Better quality will come later. This is one amazing teacher!! Thanks for posting this inspiring video! Much appreciated!

Their are so many things wrong with the band like •The clarinets are holding their instruments diagonally •They are supposed to stand up straight and not be sluggish •The flutes are being weird on how they hold the instrument in general •Some people are looking completely at the ground •Their sound, it scares me, it sounds like they haven’t cleared the spit out in a whole decade •The way the some of the band members are disorganized and just are everywhere •The way some brass have their fingers •Isn’t the brass supposed to be in the back and the woodwinds in the front, how do they even hear the woodwinds •They slur a lot of the notes that shouldn’t be slurred •Some students play too loud, like it isn’t a fff jesus christ

I am really glad for this kid who managed to accomplished his dream no matter what the challenges.

imagine this guy on the stage with an ipad playing along with heavy metal or something lmao

I thought this video would be about a kid trying to quit band he they force him to stay

*N O T Q U I T E M Y T E M P O*

Nobody: This highschool band: *intonation has left the chat*

God bless that teacher!!! What an amazing human being - looking for ways to include all of her students! She will impact this boys life and the life of all her students forever!

It's pretty cool that the teacher did that for him but there band kinda sucks

Just think if all teachers cared this much, the lives they could change, but for most it's just a job, but teachers have the power and opportunity to shape dreams and give hope. We all have memories of one or two amazing teachers and those memories stick with us forever. Mine was my track and wrestling coach, he pushed me into getting my name in the paper weekly and that was huge while my parents were on their way to a divorce.

This is fuckin awesome! That is a great teacher. Glad that kid can still play music

I feel like instead of tuning this band un-tunes their instruments.

tfw an elementary school band sounds better than theirs

0:18 who the hell taught this man how to hold a baritone

I have lost several friends to Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Including My wonderful, beautiful wife. The last time I checked, a child with SMA Type II (a genetic disorder with no cure) has LESS THAN a one percent chance of seeing their second birthday. When you meet someone with it Praise God, For you will be face to face with a TRUE miracle.

that teacher needs a huge raise

Ouch. That pep band sounds so cringy.

She deserves a huge pay raise and some sort of recognition for her dedication. Teachers are the one of the most important people we have but they're underpaid, overworked, unrecognized and abused. Teachers are our future and people crap on them

What a inspirational teacher..she is one which all people should be proud of.

Tbh their band doesn't sound that great, though not letting that kid give up totally makes up for it!

As a drummer at 2:36 the roll makes me cringe

She needs to be teacher of the year we need more like her😊

The world needs more human beings like this teacher & her student.

Who else thought the title meant something bad?

This kid is a legend and so is his teacher

I applaude this teacher for helping this student be apart of something he couldn't

This is so heartwarming. The video shows the outstanding dedication of a teacher. But not just any teacher, a teacher that went above and beyond what she had to do. All the effort in order to make a struggling teen part of a team. This is how teachers should be. She is the true definition of a teacher who never gives up.

A guy in my school band played the drums but one day he got in a car accident & used his left arm to shield his little sister. He ended up having to get it amputated because if the damages. He still plays the drums in band, just with 1 arm. 😊

Respect to this band teacher

Thats a REAL teacher..adapt and overcome. Well done

"You don't leave someone behind"...I'll always remember that...

Every country needs to be full of teachers like this woman. Good for you Ma'am.

I thought the worst when I saw the title, but then saw the video and was amazed. What a great teacher. :)

So happy for the kid. That teacher is amazing!

Truly amazing. This kid deserves his chance to live out his high school dreams.

0:11 did dis nigga just say making buckets?

that's honestly amazing, I feel so bad for people who are like that, its honestly awesome how the teacher found out a way for him to stay in band

Wonderful teacher, no student left behind. So uplifting!

Bless this teacher

This is the nicest thing they did

This was a very misleading title

This teacher is AWESOME. So is Ethan. I'm really proud he didn't give up!!

You really had me thinking that it was a middle school band in the beginning 🤧 but congrats to that kid though it’s a heartfelt story

" who doesn't like to be apart of a team? " me + every socially anxious person

this sounds like a porn title

I love this it's amazing what people do to include others

This isn't about a handicapped kid playing a musical instrument. This is about a teacher, and fellow students, treating that young man with respect.

Fuckin' A, man. Let's give teachers like this millions of dollars.

Respect for this teacher and that kid

We need more teacher like this..god bless..and thank you

What a wonderful teacher/person

That time of the year again, random stuff in my suggested box.

For alot of those kids its probably the first time they've ever played an instrument. Very very few people are born being awesome at music. Give these kids a break will you? I myself didnt even think about playing an instrument until I was a freshman in high school, and I sucked. Now I can play drums, piano, guitar, bass, violin, and am currently learning the harp. Its taken many years, and a lot of practice.

Thats amazing. Both teacher and student for their persistence

YOU GO BUDDY YOU GOT MY SUPPORT :)

Great moves Ethan, keep it up, proud of you!

2:35 god that roll was terrible

this is absolutely amazing. this is why i love music. has 0 barriers. congrats to this young man and the teacher.

She is sooooo cool. Such a true hero. God bless u. Thank u for not doing what a lot of teachers did when I was in school. We were left behind and tossed to the next grade or forgotten about.

personality wise the band teacher is nice but actually playing wise they seriously need a new teacher

“hes part of the band. we dont leave anyone behind” said the band teacher. thank you for doing your best! 🙂

Great story. That’s a real teacher. God bless you all.

i thought by the title the teacher like beat the kid up or hit him because he tried to quit
