Grant at the Grizzlies Game

Grant's school class got the opportunity to sing the National Anthem at a hockey game for the local minor league team, the Grizzlies.  Grant's class had learned the National Anthem and some other patriotic songs for a recent patriotic school performance.  We also were able to get tickets to see the game for a reduced price.  I love ice hockey so I was excited to go to the game.  Here we are waiting for the game to start.

Grant's group out on the ice.  They sang the anthem to start the game and got to sing God Bless the USA between periods 1 and 2.

Here they are for their second song.

Grant is wearing a gray shirt with an American flag about in the middle.

Grant is just to the left of the adult in black in the middle.  They did a great job singing and we all enjoyed the game.  All the kids thought it was too loud so I ended up going out to buy earplugs for them at the concession stand.  That helped.  Also we were all alarmed with how much fighting there was.  There were a lot of fights, even for a hockey game.  Maybe the minor league goes a little more crazy than the NHL?  I've been watching women's Olympic hockey and they don't fight that much.  :). Anyway, it was fun to go to the game.  The Grizzlies started pretty slow but rallied later in the game.  We left after the 2nd period 'cause everyone was tired but it was still lots of fun.  And good job Grant for singing and making it all possible.
