Please send down your healing hands upon our helmets, grant our opponents a peaceful sooner-than-expected rest this winter, and give us another day to honor our fans.

Working 4 the Cubs: Annette Bismarck

One of the benefits of singing for the teams in the Cubs’ organization is that I get to meet fascinating people who work for these teams. Whenever I sing at a new ballpark, I usually leave my seat around the third inning to explore the stadium. A student of architecture and city planning while at Notre Dame, I enjoy comparing the layouts and … [Read more...]

Singing 4 the Cubs: Boise Hawks

When I created this Singing 4 the Cubs campaign, I knew it would take a lot of planning. Assuming I can get an invitation to sing at each of the ballparks (and there's no certainty of that - I only have three confirmed stops on my map), the biggest question is how will I get to those ballparks? Drive? Fly? Singing for the Tennessee Smokies … [Read more...]

Singing 4 the Cubs: Tennessee Smokies

It's moments before I am introduced as the game's National Anthem singer and I am standing just off the grass, singing the first lines of the song over and over again. Every so often, I blow the note D3 on my pitch pipe. That's the D below middle C, my starting note. Today I'm in Sevierville to sing the National Anthem for the Tennessee … [Read more...]
