Have to give a HUGE shout out to.....

[Shane]

To the Naval Petty Officer that sang the National Anthem prior to Sunday's game! That guy was ABSOLUTELY FREAKING AMAZING!!!! He should have one helluva singing career waiting for him when he gets out!

Jim O you got an audio clip of that available?

It was cool to hear someone sing it just normal, without a bunch of histrionics or wailing.

 

[DutchmanAZ]

+1 - he was the best I've heard in years.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

Probably the best performance i've seen in that building - next to the trumpet guy

was also nice hearing the horns of the Fort Huachuca band as you came into the stadium ... they sounded good

 

[Linderbee]

I meant to post the same thing. He was awesome.

Man ain't that true. I absolutely hate when they personalize it.To me its disrespectfull.

No doubt. Those pipes were FINELY tuned too!

 

[Carddan]

Don't get to the games anymore, but I have a soft-place in my heart for anyone who can do justice to our National Anthem. I remember the trumpet player that would perform it at least once a year while I was able to attend, and I still get chills up and down my spine when I think of him playing that piece in SDS. He had EVERYONE'S attention for his performance. THere was no lollygagging around when he played the anthem. He did it the way it should be done, with heart, soul, class, and dignity. Gabriel himself must have trembled when he heard this man play that song.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

He did an amazing job.

I sent an email to the Cardinals to let them know how impressed I was. If you have time, send a note too! I used the "contact us" button on the team's homepage.
