Fiddle Kid Enrolls at BC

After becoming an overnight celebrity at BC ten years ago, Danny Gillis ’28 is finally an Eagle.

Back in 2013, seven-year-old Danny Gillis ’28 won the hearts of Eagles everywhere after he appeared on the Jumbotron at a men’s hockey game playing air fiddle to “The Devil Went Down to Georgia.” Born into a family of BC alumni, Gillis attended enough games to become widely known as “Fiddle Kid.” He’s all grown up now, and studying economics and entrepreneurship in his freshman year at BC. “I’ve been exploring the campus my whole life,” he said. “But to experience it from a student’s lens and have so much more depth to my experience will be great.”
