I'll admit, Bryne Donaldson from Ark City sounded superb at the state tournament. When he finished performing, I called my wife on my cell and ;told her point blank, "you just missed one of the best renditions of the National Anthem that I've ever heard."

By the way, I noticed you don't have the Governor on the list. She was the first governor that the tournament ever had at opening cerimonies. Granted, she talked about the round ball, but at least she had the presence of mind to be there. None of the other governors have, and they have lived literally 15 minutes away. I should know, Cedar Crest is two miles from my house.
