WATCH: Sophomore Rocks Anthem At Cross Insurance Center
Hendrix would have been proud.
Check out guitarist Nicholas Rhodes, a sophomore from Penobscot Valley High School in Howland, as he warms up the crowd with his rendition of the national anthem before the big game!
Nicholas may have a ways to go before he matches Jimi Hendrix's version that was played on the final morning of the Woodstock Festival back back in 1969, but we think that he's well on his way to getting there! Very cool!
