Watch High Schooler Effortlessly Perform ‘Eruption’ At Basketball Game

by VHND — updated March 18, 2021 Leave a Comment

An Iowa high school student showed his love for Van Halen by performing a blistering version of Eddie Van Halen’s “Eruption” during a recent basketball game.

Kaya Latcham is a member of the Montezuma pep band and was performing at a recent basketball game held at Wells-Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa. Watch as he effortlessly busts out the EVH classic before he and his bandmates perform “You Really Got Me”. It soon gets the attention of local photographers and a TV cameraman who attempt to capture the moment.

The video is courtesy of Jeff Johnson who posted it to Twitter:

Here they are. My boy, Kaya Latcham, and the rest of the Montezuma pep band playing “Eruption” and “You Really Got Me.” #iahsbkb pic.twitter.com/wjtHz3ZF9n
