Tomorrow night, Adams Elementary School choir will take center field at Safeco Field to sing the National Anthem for the Mariners’ game. The students submitted an audition and were chosen earlier this year to sing before the Mariners vs Oakland A’s game. They’ll take the stage at 5:57 p.m. and the game starts at 6:10. The game will also be aired on Roots Sports.
“We’re so proud of the kids, they’ve been practicing outside to get a better feeling of this but I don’t think anything is going to prepare them for being on that huge field and this experience!” Adams Elementary parent and chair of the PTA music booster program Rachel Hart-Rios writes.
The event doubles as a fundraiser for the Adams Elementary music program. They’ve sold over 300 tickets, the proceeds of which will go directly to the school’s music program.
