Over the next two weeks, fans will continue to narrow the field from 15 semi-finalists to three finalists and, eventually, one musician from the orchestra will be chosen as the featured performer. Led Zeppelin's legendary multi-instrumentalist John Paul Jones will arrange a special orchestral version of the Foo Fighters' hit single "The Pretender" and will serve as special guest conductor of the Foo Philharmonic Orchestra. "My GRAMMY Moment" 2008 content will also be available across the CBS Audience Network and its more than 200 online partners.

"A great amount of talented instrumentalists from across the country wanted to play with the Foo Fighters on GRAMMY night, and the 45 musicians we selected reflect a diverse group of talented individuals," said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of The Recording Academy. "The Recording Academy has always supported new and developing artists through our many music education initiatives, so we look forward to working with the musicians that the YouTube community picks to play in the Foo Fighters' orchestra."

"We're participating in 'My GRAMMY Moment' because it creates opportunities," said Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters. "Opportunities to write, compose, play and study music - skills that absolutely need to be passed on to generations to come. And thanks to 'My GRAMMY Moment,' a musician from that next generation is going to get the chance to audition on YouTube to play with us at the GRAMMYs as part of our orchestra."
