WATCH: Dad Slays National Anthem When Audio Fails At His Son’s High School Basketball Game
The Mix ^ | 12/7/2020 | Erin Perri

Posted on 12/07/2020 1:17:22 PM PST by MJacks4

n Ohio dad was not about to let his son’s high school basketball game begin without the National Anthem. Unfortunately, the audio system failed so Trenton Brown sang it on his own from the stands. This was his first time singing the National Anthem solo and he completely nailed it.

The Star Spangled Banner is a very challenging song to sing even with practice. Brown decided to belt out the song with some encouragement from his wife to kick off the game.

".... Why is the national anthem a solo performance? We should sing it together...."

No way. You don't want to hear my try to sing. I'm tone deaf. Everybody around me would be telling me to shut up and sit down.

Been there. Done that.

I am so tone deaf that I am often amazed at people that have a natural gift. I was looking at why people thought Freddie Mercury had such a range. Some people thought it is because of his teeth.

I saw one scientific article that said he could do this:

polyphonic singing..which is weird as hell ..and freaky

Very informative and, yes, freaky. Thanks for passing that on. I'd never heard of it before.

I also watch another short video on "subharmonics". That was good too.

Amazing what some people can do with their voices.

Nice to hear.

(Sorry, but I hate the slang used to describe something good, as in bad = good, etc. “slaying” could easily be singing horribly.)

A simple rendition is always the ones that give me goosebumps. I don’t know why these celebrities have to mangle the anthem with their own versions. It takes away from the beautiful melody and lyrics.

That’s great and would have been nice if the entire crowd had joined in. Maybe he expected them to but they didn’t get it.

Yeah, I loved the way he sat down and just started eating popcorn. Made him hungry, I guess.

Thanks - great!
