This video of a student’s epic, patriotic save after he dropped his cymbal during a performance of the National Anthem is an oldie, but definitely a goodie — and worth revisiting in the days leading up to the Fourth of July.

Why doesn’t he just pick up the dropped cymbal and keep playing like a normal person? Because he loves the heck out of his country, that’s why. (Also, because he’s clearly incredibly nervous.)

Enjoy!
