Title: "Traditional" Anthem
Post by: MerrittsMustache on January 28, 2011, 01:52:44 PM: Not trying to cause any trouble, but given some of the recent threads on this board I found humor in this article, particularly in the wording and subsquent fall-out. Since the primary posters who would be bickering on a thread like this are in time-out, I thought it would be OK to post it.

Is it THAT hard to get someone who can sing at MU?

Presumably the same reason Niv Berkowitz never got a playing of Hatikva?

you sure about that? have you heard some of the anthems sung at games?

If we yelled like the blackhawks games we wouldn't have to worry about the singing.

Yeah, not sure what the complaint is. She did a nice job. Sounded like a high school kid who has some talent that could mature into a really nice singing voice.

Agree. I thought she did a very nice job. Hell, I thought she stayed true to the song more than most people these days.

Someone find the military person who was offended and quote them instead of just claiming it.
