Oskar Kelly lives with a rare condition that makes him non-verbal and unable to walk, but his love of marching band is clear to all.
EDINA, Minn — As the Edina Marching Band prepares for its last big halftime show of the regular season this week, 17-year-old Oskar Kelly and his family have been busy soaking up an incredible, and emotional, year.
"He has a very rare chromosomal deletion," said Oskar's mom, Blake Kelly."He was diagnosed when he was 18 months old. He has seizure disorder, he can't walk and he's non-verbal." Once he reached marching age last year, band director Paul Kyle gave Oscar the chance to march along with the band during the homecoming parade.
Director Kyle says the biggest challenge is making sure Oskar can keep up, which is why they called in a pro this year. "When we write the drill, working in someone who's in a wheelchair takes up a little bit more space," Director Kyle said." has the knowledge and knows how to go out on the field and do the drill."
