Jack White Stuns DC High School Students With Concert (Video)

WASHINGTON, DC -- Imagine that it's just a normal day at school, and all of the sudden a rock superstar drops by for an impromptu concert while you're getting lunch.

That's what it was like for students at Wilson High School in D.C. on Wednesday, as Jack White swung by to give seniors a send-off that they'll always remember with a pop-up concert during lunch break.

White, in between shows at The Anthem, reportedly performed a 45-minute set in the atrium of the Tenleytown campus. It was a surprise not just for students, but also for faculty and staff. You can watch a short clip below.

WTOP reports that only Principal Kimberly Martin and one other school official knew about the concert, and only for a few days.

The band set up at 10:30 a.m. while students were in class and were ready to go by 11:45 a.m. White then strolled in and started playing.

White is best known as the founder of the White Stripes, but also has a successful solo career. He's collaborated with a range of artists, from country legend Loretta Lynn to Alicia Keys, and won 12 Grammy Awards to date.
