FOR HIGH 5 THIS WEEK, LYNCHIE DRIVES ALONG ROUTE 133 WHERE THE IRRESISTIBLE SOUND OF MUSIC STEERED HIM INTO IPSWICH HIGH SCHOOL WHERE HE FOUND A GROUP OF STUDENTS SCALING NEW HEIGHTS. >> THEY WERE VIRTUALLY ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. 100 IPSWICH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, EACH PLAYING AN INSTRUMENT, FROM, HOME. THE ARRANGEMENT CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN FROM THE SOUND OF MUSIC. IT TOOK 100 HOURS TO ASSEMBLE THIS MONUMENTAL YET TIMELY PIECE. ♪ >> IT ALMOST MADE ME FORGET ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON IN THE WORLD. IT WAS JUST INCREDIBLE BECAUSE IT FELT LIKE WE WERE ALMOST PLAYING AGAIN, TOGETHER.

SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD TO SEE US PLAYING THIS. >> 20 HAS BEEN A HARD YEAR. A LOT OF TURMOIL GOING ON. I THINK PEOPLE NEED SOMETHING TO UNITE BEHIND. A MESSAGE LIKE THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. ♪ >> IT IS HARD TO SEE EVERY STUDENT ON THE STAGE WHEN YOU HAVE 100 PEOPLE IN THE ORCHESTRA. IT IS SO GREAT TO BE ABLE TO SEE EVERYONE ON ONE WINDOW. ♪ >> THIS PANDEMIC HAS CAUSED TO SENIORS TO CLIMB ALL KINDS OF MOUNTAINS.

THE ORCHESTRA LEADERS SAYS 80 OF 1 -- OF THE 100 STUDENTS PLAY SPORTS AS WELL. ED: THAT IS A HIGH 10. MARIA: I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD BE
