Kapow! Video of Danny Knapp’s valedictory rap to Morristown High
Daniel Knapp is a champion ballroom dancer and an accomplished debater. Add rapper to his impressive resume.
Morristown High School’s 2010 valedictorian delivered an oration last night that nobody who was present at Mennen Arena will forget. This guy is a tough act to follow!
About midway through his speech, Danny cued the band for a tap-in. Classmates roared and rose to their feet, while school officials on the dais clapped to the beat of his syncopated shtick.
The video, about three minutes long, conveys the scene.

Well your rapping reached the remote region of Johannesburg! I even took off time from the soccer to watch it. Well done and quite innovative. Must have woken up some of the more slothful graduates enduring each others’ speeches. So are you taken a gap year and visiting Africa with the LS Sarks? Good luck with your next round of relentless studies if you are going to college. It actually does eventually end!
