Lebanon Resident Selected as Finalist to Sing the National Anthem at a New England Revolution Home Game at Gillette Stadium this Season

The New England Revolution selected three finalists, including Halley Neal of Lebanon, CT, to sing the National Anthem at a select home game during the team’s second annual National Anthem Auditions at Lansdowne Pub in Boston.

A group of celebrity guest judges –including The Voice finalist, Caitlin Ford, Berklee College of Music’s lead marketing professor, Stephanie Kellar and New England Revolution’s Director of Event Presentation, Abbey Thelin – all tasked with cutting down 21 finalists to three winners. Radio personality Salt from Mix 104.1 served as the evening’s emcee.

Each contestant was given sixty seconds to sing the song of their choice before the field was whittled down to six finalists, each of which received the chance to perform their rendition of the anthem before the crowd.

In addition to Halley Neal, Nicole Pelletier of Pelham, NH and Joe Catanzaro of Providence, RI were eventually crowned as the winners, each receiving an invitation to perform the National Anthem before an upcoming New England Revolution home game this season.

The New England Revolution kick-off its 2014 home schedule on Saturday, March 22 at Gillette Stadium as they take on the Vancouver Whitecaps at 2:00 p.m. Call 1-877-GET-REVS or visit revolutionsoccer.net for more information.
