Drummers with Attitude to perform in memory of 12-year-old student

LEVITTOWN, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Drummers With Attitude had its humble beginnings in the year 2000, thanks to a special education teacher named Kevin Travers who wanted to share his love for music with students.

Over the past 24 years, it has grown into a program that invites students of all walks of life from across the Bristol Township School District. They hosted a recent practice at Harry S. Truman High School.

While they host various performances throughout the year, the tipoff event at the 76ers game on December 6th will be a special one. They will dedicate it to 12-year-old Josiah Grant, who was tragically struck by a car while riding his bicycle and lost his life.

Watch the video above to see what this performance means to Josiah Grant's mother and sister, and how the drummers plan to keep his memory alive.
