There is something that happens before a big game that has become expected at any venue. Somebody will stand up in front of the crowd and sing the national anthem.
In the United States, the national anthem is not all that easy to sing and more than one person has embarrassed themselves in the process of singing it. That wasn’t the case with young Drake Grillo, however, a lad who sang it with heart.
At the Syracuse Women’s basketball team’s annual school day game against Niagara, Drake Grillo stood up in front of the crowd at the Carrier Dome. He was going to sing the national anthem, and people were surprised.
Despite the fact that Drake was only three years old, he managed to belt out the national anthem in a way that made everyone proud. More than 6000 people were in the stands that day and he became the first one to stand up to sing.
He was able to get through the song but in the process, he showed that he had a lot of heart and spirit. It wasn’t long before his performance was gaining attention on YouTube and millions of people have watched it since then.
