“It was the most beautiful thing I think I’ve ever seen.”
Sometimes magic just happens. That was the case when 1-year-old Boone Anthony recently jumped in with a slide whistle to play a set with the Where Ya At Brass Band in Jackson Square in New Orleans.
Boone’s mom, Stephanie Coleman Anthony, captured the moment and shared the video with NOLA.com| The Times-Picayune. The video has been viewed more than 1 million times.
“Our little 1 year old baby boy went out there and ‘performed’ with an outstanding band in front of a huge crowd on Jackson Square,” Anthony wrote in her Facebook post. “Boone received so many smiles and cheers from so many folks; it was the most beautiful thing I think I’ve ever seen.”
Anthony said the family was visiting from Pensacola, Fla., where her husband is chief air traffic controller for the Navy. She said via email that they bought Boone the $5 slide whistle from a nearby store about 30 minutes before he joined the band.
Anthony also thanked the band for their hospitality. Read her full Facebook post below.
