When Avalon was asked for a rendition of the anthem followed by something to raise attendees’ spirits and set an upbeat mood, we took a grass roots approach by featuring Shadows of the West, singing the anthem center stage.

After the performance and with the applause still at high volume, the vocalists retreated to a corner of the stage to join a third band member and kicked in with some lively music embellished with a western dance troupe. The audience loved it! Check out the video.
