Ozzy donates $10.000 after seeing students perform 'Crazy Train'

---

Ozzy Osbourne, after watching a video of Louisville Leopard Percussionists perform a cover version of his classic "Crazy Train", liked it so much that he donated $10,000 to the group.

The check was accompanied by a note telling: "Myself, my whole family and my fans all loved your rendition of 'Crazy Train'. Keep up the good work".

Louisville Leopard Percussionists are a performing ensemble of more than 60 student musicians aged 7-14, who reside in 26 different Louisville zip codes and attend 48 different schools in and around Louisville, Kentucky.

Diane Downs, the elementary school teacher who runs the Percussionists after school and on weekends, told that attention that the small group got was "pretty cool".

She added: "I want them to feel like rock stars. I want them to realize, 'Oh, this is why we work so hard in rehearsal.' I tell them that when you're presenting something to the public, you don't want it to be okay - you want it to be great. So hopefully they're going to carry that over into their lives once they grow up, too".
