In 2011, five high school boys from Florida became an internet sensation after their drumming performance at their school’s talent show went viral, garnering 29 million views. The group, known as the Hot Scots, was led by Dylan Charles, who revived a drumline tradition from Lake Howell High School. Dylan and his fellow drummers—Nigel Fernandez, Matt, Elias, and Jordan—delivered a performance that combined musical skill with humor and creativity. Dressed in kilts, they played an intricate drumline routine, incorporating fun moments like performing Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” and shouting “Awww, I lost the game!” during the show.

The grand finale featured them lifting their kilts to moon the audience, adding to the excitement and laughter. The performance was shared on YouTube by Nigel Fernandez, where it quickly went viral and has since remained a fan favorite, with many viewers praising the boys’ talent, precision, and the difficulty of their routine. Years later, the Hot Scots’ video continues to be enjoyed by people around the world, leaving a lasting impression with its perfect blend of skill, humor, and coordination.
