It’s a moment that always gives us chills.
It’s the sound of thousands of fans taking over and singing the national anthem before a sporting event, whether it’s because there was a technical difficulty that stopped a singer from doing his or her job, or because the person at the mic simply stepped back and let the crowd take over. Sometimes it’s to support a singer who might stumble over the words.
So now, on July 4, feels like a perfect time to remember a few of those moments and to get chills one more time. Let’s look back at a few notable fan-led anthems:
2013: Bruins fans sing in unison after the Boston Marathon bombing
2016: Cavaliers fans sing before a Finals game
2017: Oilers fans step in during a playoff game against the Ducks
2017: Devils fans help a singer out
2019: Blues fans step in when there was a glitch
