A US high-school student with dreams of becoming a professional suffered an embarrassing mishap at his first on-field performance. <br /><br />Dylan Ward, 16, from South Carolina is a student at North Myrtle Beach High School marching band. <br /><br />In the video, filmed on a camera attached to his instrument in February 2018, Ward has his instrument to his mouth and is walking in line with other members of the marching band but falls over. <br /><br />Heroically, he is quickly able to get up, runs to his spot and gathers his composure before cooly resuming playing.<br /><br />On his GoFund me page, Ward explains that he has been playing instruments since the fourth grade, starting out on trumpet although he has studied more than eight instruments. <br /><br />He writes: "I enjoy marching band and hope to one day be a part of a professional marching group. I have received scholarships over the last three years."<br /><br />Ward aims to raise money to pay for the cost of fees so that he can one day join the Carolina Crown junior drum and bugle corps.
