Kicker - In-flight concert

NICK EICHER, HOST: You know how it feels when you walk onto the plane, put your carry-on bags away and settle into your seat, only to find that the flight is delayed?

Traveling on the plane that day was a children's orchestra from Nashville en route to Europe for a concert tour.
