Special Olympics Opening Ceremonies

Francis Scott Key, eat your heart out!

What better way to kick off the Massachusetts Special Olympic Summer Games than with an Overboard arrangement of America’s classic, The Star Spangled Banner? Friday, June 19th, all the athletes filed into the BU Track & Indoor Tennis Center and joined us in saluting the stars and stripes before the beginning of the weekend’s events.

The following day, we sang a few sets to athletes, parents and friends alike in Olympic Town at the Harvard University Stadium. Between our sets it was uh… requested that we participate in some high intensity aerobics by our friend, Trainer Lisa. Despite working up a sweat, we finished our performance and said goodbye to our friends at the Special Olympics until next year.

We had a great time again this year, and want to congratulate all of the volunteers, coaches, athletes and their families for all of their hard work! Also, a special thanks to Jennifer for coordinating our performance!
