Yesterday (11/10), Best Buy Mobile and the Grammy Foundation continued their mission to help enrich schools in need, teaming up to donate $5,000 to Centennial High School in Franklin, TN. Students were treated to a surprise visit from Rascal Flatts, who spoke about the importance of music education.

“Music was a vital part of the guys and my young lives, particularly in school,” said Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts. “We are honored to be a part of what we feel is one of the most important programs for developing and recognizing talent in our youth.”
Rascal Flatts will also kick-off the special Thanksgiving week all-star line-up on NBC’s Today Monday, Nov. 21 as part of the Toyota Concert Series on the Rockefeller Center plaza. The group will be joined by Nastasha Begingfield to perform their latest single “Easy.”
