National Anthem!

Holy Moly can my baby sing!! She was asked to sing the National Anthem for the Varsity Basketball team for her school -Somerset Sky Pointe Academy! This was going to be a challenge because she had never sung this song as a solo piece and was going to be singing a cappella! She has been practicing all month! She was so excited to sing the National Anthem! She got all dressed up and ready to check in with the Athletics Director! He announced her name on the mic...She played her pitch in her ear and away she sang! Rocking it out! Her voice echoing off the mic! The crowd went wild! She nailed it! We were so proud of our girl! Thank you Aunt Bre and her family for coming! She always loves having you guys there! #1 supporters! Love it!

The school  loved her so much that they asked her to come back and sing again at the final home game of the season and senior night! This time she wore her school colors! :) My sisters and bff Jackie even came to watch! and of course she rocked it out! Her voice echoing off the mic so beautifully! Pitch perfect a cappella! Her confidence just  blows my mind!  Never nervous! Not cocky! Always cool, calm and collective! She has a such special spirit about her! The crowd went wild! What a rush! Hearing my baby sing one of the most powerful songs of all time! Having heard her sing not only was I proud to be an American... I was so proud to be her mom! She lit the stands up with her voice, smile and stage presence! Tears filled up my eyes and I looked over at my sisters so proudly and they had tears in their eyes streaming down their faces! We love you Penny! You make us all so proud!
