A boy in junior high school handled an embarrassing moment gracefully after his cymbal broke when he was performing Star-Spangled Banner with his school marching band. After looking around awkwardly for a moment as if unsure what to do, he placed his remaining cymbal on the ground, turned towards his fellow schoolmate who was holding the American flag, and broke into a salute. In a videothat has attracted more than 2,000,000 viewers, the other musicians can’t help but crack a smile as he puts on a brave face and remains in his patriotic position until the end of the anthem.
