Why do you think fans should vote for you?
I am just a small town country girl who loves to sing. I LOVE football and even officiated flag-football in college. This competition is giving me the opportunity to combine two things that I love: singing and sports. I have been given a gift, and I would appreciate the opportunity to share my voice and my music with Falcons fans! I'm Georgia born and raised, so I'm a natural-born Braves, Falcons, Hawks, Bulldogs, and Alan Jackson fan! Singing is my passion, so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE vote for me and give me the opportunity of a lifetime!
When and where did you first sing in public?
I sang the ABC's of Christians at Mount Calvary Baptist Church in Hoboken, GA when I was 3 years old. I grew up singing in church, then branched out to competitions in middle and high school. I sang the National Anthem at all of the Ware County High School home basketball games and even got the opportunity to sing it at our home softball games before hitting the field. I continued on with my music in college and even picked up the guitar! I currently play and sing for fun and for anyone who will listen!
Who is your favorite musical artist?
I love a lot of the newer artists in country music, especially Carrie Underwood, but my favorite artist of all time will always be Reba McEntire!
Who is your favorite Falcons player?
Current player: Matt Ryan Past player: Steve Bartkowski (the all-time leader in passing yardage!)
What would singing at a Falcons game mean to you?
I know it's cliché, but it would really mean the world to me. It would be combining my two greatest passions: singing and sports. It would mean stepping foot in one of the greatest stadiums in the country to honor our nation. It would definitely be the highlight of my career and my life. Also, it would be a GREAT birthday present, because my birthday is coming up (July 22)!

The best that you can do in life is try. I have always had my dream to sing and play music and so now I am trying hard to live it. To old friends that didn't know I could sing (hey how's it goin?), and also to new friends watching this video, I would love it if you would vote for me so that I could feel the rush of singing to thousands of people, and hopefully hear the clapping that follows!
When and where did you first sing in public?
This opportunity is crazy exciting for me seeing as how I have yet to really sing outside of friends and family! I have plans to sing at the Redlight Cafe in Atlanta in August, but nothing thus far!

Who is your favorite Falcons player?
Matt Ryan
What would singing at a Falcons game mean to you?
Singing the National Anthem in a filled stadium in my home state would undoubtedly be the coolest, most exciting moment of my life. I entered my video thinking nothing would come of it and it feels great knowing I made the TOP 10! Help me make the top 4 so that I can walk out to that microphone and show Atlanta what I really got!

I LOVE performing and I am looking forward to having better and better opportunities like this. I'm so grateful to Dave FM and the Falcons for putting me in the Top 10 because you believed in my singing. I hope the fans will also enjoy my singing and vote for me!!
When and where did you first sing in public?
At my preschool Christmas program. My teacher regularly heard me singing all during nap time, and instead of getting upset with me, one time she asked me to sing Silent Night in her ear. She loved my voice and told the Director that people HAD to hear me sing, so the preschool invited me to sing a solo at their big program, which they never had done before. Then, I was invited again to sing a solo at the preschool graduation. I've been hooked ever since!

Why do you think fans should vote for you?
I think fans should vote for me because I try to sing this song with passion as I express my belief in the words contained in the lyrics! Voting for me will allow the stadium to experience the same feeling I have as I sing the Anthem.
When and where did you first sing in public?
I first sang in public in 1970 at Saint John's Baptist Church in Wichita Falls, Texas.
Who is your favorite musical artist?
That's a tough question because I like many from Country to Christian to Jazz to R&B to Rap. Had to make sure I got 'em all in there!
Who is your favorite Falcons player?
In my hometown of Wichita Falls, Texas I played football and our colors were Red and Black. So quite naturally, those are my favorite team colors. As far as a favorite player, I like all of them because they "are" representing the home team. But if I have to narrow it down, I'd say Erik Coleman and Brian Finneran; and I have my reasons!
What would singing at a Falcons game mean to you?
Singing the National Anthem at a Falcons game would mean for me another opportunity to honor veterans, their families and all citizens for support of the military family for the many sacrifices made to uphold the ideas and beliefs of our great country!

What would singing at a Falcons game mean to you?
We've always heard that music is a universal language. People of all ages, race, culture, and gender can come together and relate to just one song. It forms connections and eases tensions between many who otherwise may never relate. In performing at the game, I would love to play a part in bringing everyone together while doing something that I love. The Atlanta Falcons fan energy is already amazing. If I can do anything to add to that for just one game, I'll feel accomplished.
