High schoolers invited Jack Black to 'School of Rock' musical rehearsal — his 'rocking' response left them awestruck
Actor Jack Black is a legend for too many reasons, now of which is how he treats his fans. It was because of his mind-blowing skills and fantastic nature that the students of the Ring Wood Secondary College in Melbourne, Australia decided to invite him to their school event. They were rehearsing for the musical production of "School of Rock," Black's iconic film from 2003, and thought who better than the actor to grace their prep sessions. They also had another reason to request him to come and see their rehearsals — he was in the area at the time for his band Tenacious D's concert. The students of the Ringwood Secondary College Production that goes by @ringwoodscproduction on TikTok took to the platform to invite the actor with a hilarious sketch.
The students began their invitation for Jack Black by adding hilarious references to "Schook of Rock." They asked people other than Black to simply keep scrolling. "Jack...we can call you Jack, right?" a boy said. "Jack, we are in the middle of the rehearsals for the Ringwood Secondary College's production of 'School of Rock' the musical," a girl continued. "We would like to formally invite you to pop by one of our rehearsals during the time you are here," the boy went on. The girl added that she had heard a wise man say that a person should beg for something they really need. "So we are here, on our knees with not quite a thousand people, but a good chunk of our cast and stage crew," the girl dramatically said.
Referring to an iconic dialogue from his 2003 film, she said they all had a "rare blood disorder called 'Stick-it-to-da-man-niosis'." They put up a brief performance requesting the actor to come by and chanted his name for quite a while. The message reached Jack Black and the actor responded with a terrific video, leaving the kids stunned. "Oh my god, Ringwood Secondary College, are you kidding me? You are doing 'School of Rock'?" the actor said, leaving the kids completely surprised. "I love it. I am so touched, so moved by your video and the fact that you are going to rock." He hilariously added, "You know it has been 20 years since I made that movie. Which you can tell from my beard, my old man beard." The actor revealed that it was still his favorite movie and he "loved that [they] were gonna rock it." Black said he wished he could come but he would be "rocking" (with his band) on the same day.
"But I just wanted to remind you that there's no way you can stop, the 'School of Rock'," the actor concluded the video by singing a line from the movie. The students, as well as the people, who watched the clip, were just awestruck by the actor's response. @talanasken wrote, "That's fantastic! I know it's not him showing up but a personal message is the next best thing! Good luck with your performance!" @w4s.dj commented, "Notice how he didn’t say why he couldn’t go other than to say that he was rocking, lol… watch.. he’ll be there. If he doesn’t show up, big douche move."
@homeless_adventurer remarked, "Wow, love that he responded and love Jack Black in everything he's been in. Can't believe he's only 10 years older than me though." @heliumadam shared, "If you really know 'School of Rock', he said in the movie he couldn’t make it…. Then SHOWED!" The actor really couldn't make it to rehearsals but his response made the students' day.
