The National Anthem can make or break your show, even before it really starts.  A good anthem can help to energize the crowd, while a bad performance can really take the energy out of a building quicker than a power outage.  There have been times game producers were hoping and praying for a power outage to stop a bad performance or two.

Bob McDonald is a National Anthem singer for the Washington Capitals, Washington Nationals, Baltimore Orioles and a few more teams.  He’s also been on some pretty impressive stages for a Super Bowl and Winter Classic within a year.  Yes, Bob has the chops and brings them with him to Verizon Center when called upon.

Recently, Puckbuddys did a piece on McDonald, who has been at it on the sports side for over 20 years.
