What a great memory! You must have been sitting very close to me, too, because your camera angle was about my viewing angle.
This is how an Anthem SHOULD be done. It is not abot the performer, but about the song. And it SHOULD provide an opportunity for everyone to sing along like that, warts and all!
Too many performers butcher it to the point where you can't join in because it is unrecognizable.
I have never heard any fans sing our national anthem this loud. But as said, it would've sounded much better with just the crowd singing. Not only that, but I think it would've meant more as well.
i was there and it was so great that everyone was singing i got goosebumps then and i do know.GO ducks!!!!i was so happy that everyone was singing it.and people know know that Americans take pride in there anthem as well:)
Not many, but they're out there. I got a buddy here in Edmonton who's born and raised here, and he's a diehard Ducks fan who hates the Oilers. Haha its quite strange.
I've been compiling a list of places not in Orange County that are home to Ducks fans, and I think people would be surprised at how many different places there are all around the world. Just curious, what part of Canada are you from?
LET THE CROWD SING! america has a beautiful national anthem. it would sound so much better if only the crowd sang it! i never thought that people sing it though. hockey is probably the only sport? hopefully it changes into what it is like in EUROPE!!! peace
I was at that game, and I have to say, when we started to sing the National Anthem, I started to cry and could not get through it as it was very emotional..I just wish the entire nation had been able to see this...SHAME on NBC for failing to show that we have patriotism
I am very glad everyone in attendance enjoyed the anthem. If it gave you chills, can you imagine what it did for me. Thanks for your support. GO DUCKS!
Bless you Sergeant! That was amazing! I lived in CA my whole life and had season seats for 12 years saving my allowance and crap and i move to Columbus in 7-06... go figure... But that was awesome man!
Wow, that was freekin amazing! I have been to many sporting events and never have i heard the entire croud join in except after like 9/11 and such. And to think I hated californians... lol jk you guys.
Well, we're headed to another post season in ANA! Hope to see you there Staff Sergeant!!! Semper Fi!!!

You did an absolutely amazing job and we certainly hope to see you sing at the Honda Center again!
Would also like to thank you for turning the mic over to the crowd and letting them be heard. You rock, sir!
