A student with Down syndrome brought his entire school to its feet after nailing a tricky music challenge on his very first try.

People with Down syndrome often face delays in learning and coordination, which makes what happened next even more special.
Ethan took part in the Whitney Houston drum challenge at his school. The challenge sounds simple but it’s actually quite hard. You have to hit a drum at exactly the right moment before the chorus starts.
The wait is longer than most people think, so timing it perfectly is tough. Many people miss it completely.
When Ethan’s turn came, he stood ready with the drum. He listened carefully to the music. Then at just the right second, he hit it perfectly.
The gym exploded with cheers. Students jumped up. Teachers clapped and shouted. Everyone celebrated together.
