High School Band Member Stunned as 'Thunderstruck' Performance Goes Viral
The Thomas Jefferson High School senior said mastering the song took forever as the clip drew millions of views and reposts from celebrities.
- Last week, a video of Thomas Jefferson High School senior Layla Clark playing the marimba during a marching band rendition of 'Thunderstruck' went viral again, amassing millions of views on social media.
- Mastering the AC/DC song was a 'lengthy process' that Clark said she still hasn't perfected, though her band family helped her overcome being a 'super shy, nervous kid.'
- Calling it 'the first actual celebrity I've heard talking about my video,' Clark noted that Taylor Swift's husband, Travis Kelce, recently reposted the viral clip.
- Her school routine has shifted as classmates point her out in hallways, and Clark reported her email 'blowing up' with messages from teachers asking about the footage.
- Clark plans to attend college next year to pursue a career as an exotic-animal veterinarian, with hopes that her future institution will also host a marching band program.
