Md. boy's dream comes true as he meets Maroon 5 at DC concert

WASHINGTON -

A 10-year-old Maryland boy's biggest dream came true Monday night, and his story has already melted the hearts of millions around the world. For Christopher Warner, this night is all about one thing: Maroon 5.

FOX 5 first introduced you to Christopher last week. He has Down syndrome, but in many ways, he's just like every other kid -- including in his taste in music. His favorite band on the planet is Maroon 5, and of course, they're playing at the Verizon Center in D.C. Monday night.

Adam Levine's band has truly captured Christopher's heart, but on this night, he was sure to capture theirs. Christopher met his idols backstage before the show, and to say he could hardly wait would be a huge understatement.

When Christopher finally met the band backstage, he was really excited! Actually, a little TOO excited. He had a bit of a panic attack. But Maroon 5 took it in stride, so the whole band, his mother and Intern John of The Kane Show all laid down with Christopher for this heartwarming picture!

Christopher even got a pair of drumsticks from the drummer of Maroon 5 after the meet and greet!

This all started when his teachers and classmates at West Friendship Elementary School in West Friendship, Md. became well aware of his love for the band. Christopher did a writing project on Maroon 5, and even sung one of their songs, "One More Night," at the school's karaoke event.

Oh, and he sings. Over and over and over -- and it's adorable. Christopher's teachers made a YouTube video showing his love for Maroon 5 and sent it to FOX 5 and The Kane Show on D.C. radio station Hot 99.5. The Kane Show used their contacts to help get him in the show, and backstage.
