The Boston Symphony Orchestra is no stranger to taking part in the special occasions for sports events. After all, they took part in the national anthem before Game 2 of the World Series on Wednesday night.
And prior to the Red Sox taking a 2-0 lead in the series over the Dodgers, the BSO released a challenge of its own to its Los Angeles counterpart.
“We challenge Gustavo [Dudamel] and the LA Philharmonic to top our theme song,” said BSO musical director Andris Nelsons. Naturally, Nelsons meant “Shipping up to Boston” by the Dropkick Murphys.
