Singing the National Anthem

Today was a real highlight for me....got to sing the National Anthem with 3 other women at the Braves spring training game at Disney. In front of about 5,000 people - we were all SO nervous. I can speak in front of a crowd, dance in front of a crowd.....but this really scared me. With the 4-part harmony, I was alone on my part and really feared flubbing the notes.

It was a gorgeous day - mom and Maris were there to cheer us on. Tanya, Courtney, and Gail are friends from choir (all 1st altos) and of us work at Disney. Ths was Courtney's idea - on her "bucket list". She works in marketing for Sports so had an "in" for us to by-pass the audition process.

Our biggest fear was hearing our voices 1 second late in the big stadium. Fortunately, that wasn't as noticeable as we were told...and it turned out great. Complete with fireworks on "the rockets red glare"....how Disney!!

Once we were finished...big sigh of relief and then enjoyed the game - hot dogs, peanuts, and ice cream on the way out!!!
