A few years ago, Henry Boyer attended his first University of Michigan football game where he learned that he wanted to be a part of the marching band one day. Now, that band is giving him the opportunity to live his dream sooner than expected.
saying he hoped to sign up one day, and in response, the band sent him a bunch of swag and a card inviting him to audition when he's older.After that, he asked his mother if he could double up on piano lessons and start learning the drums.
"Like the card said, 'Practice hard.' And I will practice hard," he said."I just have a really good feeling that I'm going to be in the marching band." If all goes as planned, Boyer will join the band in the fall of 2029. But CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman and the school decided that it was too long of a wait to see his dream come true.
So they set up a little surprise. Boyer's jaw dropped as soon as he saw the marching band play right in front of him. "Henry, this is your Michigan marching band," said a drum major."We're so excited to have you here with us.""Just seeing the band play right in front of my face, that made me want to join the band even more," he said.
