JACKSONVILLE, FL -- The passion and excitement could be seen all over the faces of the kids at the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind Tuesday afternoon.
Ricky Minor, a music director working on his 7th Super Bowl, made an appearance to help the kids with their performance on Sunday.
Minor has worked with Grammy award winners like Whitney Houston, Beyonce Knowles and Carlos Santanna. But, he says it's his experiences with three musicians that has helped him with the students.
"I've had the great opportunity to work with Ray Charles, and I've worked with Stevie Wonder, and Ronnie Milsap so I'm accustomed to working with people who are given and extra gift," said Minor.
Minor says he's enjoyed working with the kids, and hopes the Super Bowl audience will see the special gifts the kids have.
"They live in the moment, and that's what we all should do."
