Oh, say, can you see...
Shirts and Pants, an extra-curricular male choir of Bluffton High School boys, will sing that phrase and more as the entire State of Ohio watches later this month. To watch a video rehearsal of the performance click here.
The choir of 15, directed by Kevin Gratz, will perform The National Anthem prior to the tip-off of the Ohio High School Athletic Association Division I boys' basketball state championship game. The performance is at 8:30 p.m., Saturday, March 26, in the Schottenstein Center at The Ohio State University.
The choir will perform the Francis Scott Key work a cappella. The performance will be aired on live television on the Sports Time Ohio channel.
During their performance, the choir will wear black pants, white long-sleeve shirts and ties. The photo and video were taken on Tuesday, March 15, during a dress rehearsal.
The choir sings several times during the year. Its repertoire ranges from traditional male choral works to gospel music.
