Our Performance

by Mackenzie Grace

illustrated by Kayleigh Hoffman

Tonight is the night that I get to sing the national anthem at the hockey game. My

school was chosen to perform the song. Some of my classmates and I will sing

together. Our music teacher, Miss Lear, will lead us.

I am very nervous. I hope I remember the words. I hope I don’t sing too soft or sing

too loud. What a fun but scary experience.

My dad yells up to me in my bedroom. “Mackenzie, it’s time to go.”

“Coming, Dad.” I brush my hair one more time. I take a sip of water, and I race down

the stairs to the car. We’re off to the game.

When we get there, I am even more nervous. I can’t believe all the people sitting in

the stands. My mom and dad and little sister are here. Grandma, Grandpa, and Auntie

Laura are here, too. They all came to see me sing. I hope I make them proud.

The game is about to start. Now it’s our turn to sing. I take a deep breath and sing

out. I hear the applause. We did it! The crowd went wild! My family is so proud of me!
