The students also had the opportunity to walk the red carpet before the ceremony as well as attend the ceremony to watch Kendrick perform and receive numerous awards.The students captured their journey from Compton to the Grammys which, included their candid moments with Kendrick, through a series of pictures and videos.
The students were chosen based upon displaying characteristics that were present in a young school aged Kendrick, as well as exemplifying characteristics that Reebook Classic promotes such as having the courage to express who they are and a willingness to stand out from the crowd.
