The Boston Symphony Orchestra played a Dropkick Murphys classic in honor of the Red Sox

The Boston Symphony Orchestra is no stranger to taking part in the special occasions for sports events. After all, they took part in the national anthem before Game 2 of the World Series on Wednesday night.

And prior to the Red Sox taking a 2-0 lead in the series over the Dodgers, the BSO released a challenge of its own to its Los Angeles counterpart.

“We challenge Gustavo [Dudamel] and the LA Philharmonic to top our theme song,” said BSO musical director Andris Nelsons. Naturally, Nelsons meant “Shipping up to Boston” by the Dropkick Murphys.
