He performed the national anthem flawlessly despite never having practiced.

If you’ve ever tried to sing along to the American National Anthem, you know how difficult it can be to get every note right.

Imagine doing that in front of a large crowd!

Isaac Bryant, a junior in high school, tried out when he was 17 years old, despite having no intention of performing.

Someone needs to do it, no matter how difficult it is.
To be fair, Bryant’s dream is to become a singer. At a public event, you don’t let anyone sing “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

But what makes his solo so extraordinary is that it was inspired by a high school wrestling match at Mechanicsburg High School in Ohio. Apparently, no one else was available to perform the national anthem.

“They wanted someone to sing the national anthem, so I was like, ‘I’ll do it,'” Bryant said.
After some encouragement from a buddy, the youngster decided to give it a shot, and by all accounts, he delivered a strong performance.

Fortunately, someone was present to record the event (and the Facebook video, which has over 1 million views, is embedded below). It’s tough to know when anything may pique people’s interest, but the teen’s gesture surely did.

Bryant expressed his gratitude to God, saying, “I feel blessed and I sincerely thank God.” And I feel it’s catching on because it’s honest, and relatable, and a lot of people are in the military.

As soon as the video became viral (particularly Hank Williams), press outlets began calling his little Ohio town, where the youngster grew up enjoying country music.
Bryant received a gift from his mother shortly after his spontaneous performance. She told him to get ready to go to John Glenn International Airport.

“She said you’re going to be on Fox & Friends Wednesday morning, and we’re leaving tonight,” the youngster told ABC 6/FOX 28 News.

Bryant had never performed the National Anthem in front of an audience before, and his solo performance provided him with the opportunity. But first, he astonished everyone at the airport with another show.

He entertained bystanders on a guitar built by his grandfather, giving them something to speak about on their flights.

Later, he was asked to perform the national anthem once more, this time honoring Medal of Honor recipients in Washington, D.C.

Bryant reflected on his internet celebrity by saying, “At this point, it’s all just a dream come true.”

He is especially thrilled that his big moment occurred as he was singing a patriotic song. And he sent a message to people who are dissatisfied with the situation of the planet.

“I love America, so if you’re beginning to doubt it, hold onto hope,” he urged.

Bryant, who is currently a student at Ohio State, wants to pursue a career in country music in addition to his academic studies.
