The WLA Traveling Choir has been singing a new SATB arrangement of the Gaither Vocal Band setting of the Star-Spangled Banner this school year. After one of our recent performances for the 6th Annual Derek Dobogai Memorial Run/Walk, an audience member pulled me aside and said,"I go to about 17 or 18 Brewers games a year. The version your choir sang today was way better than anyone I have heard sing for the Brewers. You should audition to sing for the Brewers."
I have had this same encouragement from other parents in the past, so it's high time we did it. So how does one audition? Here is the most current information I have found for Wisconsin teams:
