As a kid, when you think of a good time, it usually involves playing with your friends, running around, and eating sweets all day.

That may actually still be your idea of a good time as an adult.

While this may hold true for many children, some kids have big dreams in mind. The ones that their parents may tell them that they’re not quite ready for. But for some, those things go in one ear and out the other.

One little boy was able to achieve one of his dreams when he was able to sing the National Anthem before a college basketball game. That’s a feat that some adults have been unable to achieve.

Three-year-old Drake Grillo, from Auburn, became the youngest person to ever sing the patriotic song in the Carrier Dome for the Syracuse Oranges women’s basketball team last December. But judging by his performance, he’s a natural. Not once did he falter or show any signs of intimidation.

With his mother, Chelsea, kneeling beside him, Drake belted out the words with confidence and ease. He wore a kids’ sized red Syracuse jersey showing his support for his beloved team.

There were over 6,000 people in attendance for the game where the women were playing against Niagra. Spoiler alert: the Oranges won!

Could it have been that the young fan brought them good luck? It’s quite possible.

In the video, after the announcer introduces him, Drake stands stoically with the microphone in his hand. Seemingly unsure of when to start. This moment of uncertainty only lasts for a couple of moments.

It looks like Drake brought a hat with him for the occasion. His mom holds onto a small, black Syracuse hat with the letter “S” in the front.

But as we know, no hats during the anthem!

I think it’s safe to say that as soon as Drake opens his mouth to sing, we are engulfed in the cuteness that is before us. His little voice belts out the words as loudly and clearly as he can.

Audience members smile behind him while remaining silent and respectful. Clearly, they too are taken by the young man’s enthusiasm and professionalism. His mom has her hand on her heart, watching proudly, as only a mother could, as her son sings his little heart out.

Throughout his performance, audience members quietly begin to take out their phones to record and take photos of the little giant.

What’s more adorable are the moments he tries to announce words that he is not quite ready for.

It’s always those darn “r’s” that trip us up. Don’t worry, Drake. You’re far from alone on this one.

In the end, the audience cheers. For the first time, Drake smiles shyly and runs into her arms.

Chelsea says her son is always eager to perform the anthem before a sporting event. She shared that he often asks when he will be able to perform again. Using her motherly ways, she tells him that he has to be patient and wait his turn because there are others who want the opportunity as well.

She says that he may be unaware of how big of a deal it is for him to perform in front of so many people.

“We just try to stay calm for him and not really talk it up. We don’t ask him if he’s nervous. So then maybe he won’t think of that. I don’t he really knows what nervous is yet.”

Whatever they’re doing, it’s working. Keep up the great work, Drake! You have a fan in all of us.
