Field Fright? Of Course Not
That horrific episode at the NBA All Star Game a few year back, where the young girl forgot the words to the national anthem must now run through the minds of every team official responsible for lining up that ritual for her or his sport.
Look for our parish's children's choir on ESPN2 today for the MLS Game of the Week. Likely, the anthem will be preempted for commercials, but you never know. The Wizards made out pretty well: one forty-voice choir netted then over 250 tickets sold. They also insisted on a cd recording of the choir singing. Just in case forty of us got stage fright, the assumption is that we can still lip-sync it.
Cheryl is our outstanding director. She's a little nervous about this event. I'm more worried the kids will lose a bit of focus on the purpose of the choir. They seem to have been bit by Spring Fever a bit more intensely this year; practices have been a little wild at the fringes, but at least the energy is still good.
