Memorial Cup Part 1 - Behind the Scenes

Performing Friday night at the opening ceremonies of the Memorial Cup was such an honor. I made sure I was there early so that there would be no last minute surprises. I had my mom there with me, or should I say my momager, my step father, or should I say my camera man, and my step brother, or should I say my bodyguard. Anyway, who says family can't be those things right? Hey, they got free tickets so I made them work for it. Everyone running the Memorial Cup was so nice and extremely accommodating, except for this one guy who wouldn't let us through the curtain when it was time for me to sing. Ummm... hello there is only one way to the entrance sir! If there is no anthem singer then you can be the one to explain yourself to the organization. Needless to say he had no choice but to let us pass. My mom (momager) came with her pitch pipe so that I would be able to hit my first note right on pitch. It was so handy the whole evening, until I went onstage. Between the crowd and the DJ music I lost my note. Oh well momager, we tried. I started a little lower then I was supposed to, but hey it happens and I am a professional singer with a big range, so I still sang it like a champ. It was amazing being out on the ice in front of all those people. When the crowd started to cheer it was such a rush, even though I couldn't hear myself sing by the end of it. Thank goodness for my ear plugs and my keen concentration or the end would have been a disaster, but it wasn't. The performance felt fantastic and I left feeling like I scored the first goal! Gooooooo HunnyB! Watch the behind the scenes here: Copy the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5WlF4LxRto&feature=youtu.be
