In March, the Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame presented the ensemble, whose members range in age from 13 to 17, with the Cover Song of the Year honor.
Roger Daltrey, the lead singer of The Who, noticed the video after it received over 100,000 views on TikTok in two days.
In addition, Daltrey responded with a TikTok video in which he praised their performance.
Daltrey remarked, “I just watched the most incredible video of the Central Pennsylvania [Youth] All Star Band performing Baba O Riley.” And I must admit that I’m quite impressed.
Daltrey continued by saying that he really adored the recording made by the Central Pennsylvania Youth All Star Band.
I think the filming is excellent,” Daltrey added. However, your personalities are coming through in the music you’re playing and the characters you portray. It’s evident that you’re singing from the heart.
“Your ending is really original, and I loved it!” Daltrey added in closing.
