High school is the best time to discover what you love, unlock potential, and hone your skills, whether it’s for certain academic subjects, sports, or music.

While engaging in these activities means commitment, dedication, and discipline, these serve as healthy channels for when you’re feeling stressed out from all the schoolwork and the pressures of teenage life. After all, nothing beats a fun outlet you can share with your peers.

Drumline is a perfect example of an activity that lets you tap into your creativity, unleash musical talent, and hang out with a group that holds the same passion for it. And to prove just how cool being part of a drumline can be, check out the impressive performance of the boys of Hot Scots.

Donning kilts paired with black shirts and sneakers, the five-man team assembled on stage looking as cool and relaxed as can be – not at all like they have a talent show to win. Nigel, Dylan, Matt, Elias, and Jordan came prepared.

From the way they took their places onstage to when they started playing, it was evident that drumline was something they were really into. We’re guessing coming up with choreography and rehearsing is as enjoyable as performing looks, too.

Their animated facial expressions and the way they gamely interacted with the audience did not get in the way of how flawlessly they could flip drumsticks and create infectious beats as they kept in time with each other.

Then they hop into a domino effect where one drummer does a solo, then is joined one by one by the others.

Obviously a crowd favorite, Hot Scots came complete with cool solos, unique choreography, and commanding stage presence.

There was even some freestyle involved wherein they just bopped their heads, jumped, and swayed as they played. It was nothing short of incredible and it comes as no surprise that they bagged first place in the talent show.
