Youโre about to witness one of the greatest father-daughter duets of all time!
Sit back and relax. The gameโs about to start.
Every now and then, the pregame has greater highlights than the game itself!
Meet Army Chaplain Paul Peterson and his lovely daughter Reagan.
Theyโre about to put on a little show before the games begin.
The national anthem is a classic vocal performance. Itโs a staple of any American sporting event.
The honorโs only given to those with golden voices โ except for Fergie that one time.
Dadโs been singing with his baby girl all their lives. Now, sheโs all grown up.
And wow can she sing!
Fun just kinda runs in the family.
So do amazing vocal cords.
These girls have one of the best dads on the planet.
And heโs an exceptional vocalist!
Paul has six daughters. Thatโs right โ six!
Hereโs the entire gang before the pandemic.
Remember when people could comfortably gather outdoors?
Hopefully, those days are right around the corner, again!
And shoutout glowsticks.
Thatโs one big, beautiful family.
Lifeโs pretty nice when youโre surrounded by so many people you love.
In an interview with USA Today, Paul poured out his heart.
He loves his family more than anything.
Turns out, Paul sang in college. So did his wife.
โPeople who walk around singing are generally happy.โ
This is one musical household!
Unsurprisingly, those skills have been passed down to their lovely daughters.
One day, Reagan was asked to perform the โStar-Spangled Bannerโ in front of her peers.
Sheโs a volleyball star and an amazing singer! Thatโs a potent combination.
But she didnโt want to do it aloneโฆ
She wanted to do it with Dad.
And the rest is history.
Paul has a special connection with his daughter Reagan.
They sing together all the time.
They even record and upload their duets online!
Now, the entire school can see their skills live and in person.
โBy the dawnโs early light.โ
Dad and Daughter turn towards one another, creating an everlasting memory.
This might be up there with some of the greatest anthem performances of all time.
Speaking of which, have you heard Marvin Gayeโs national anthem performance at the NBA All-Star game in 1983?
Thatโs how itโs done.
The audience, including Reaganโs teammates, is in awe.
Itโs not every day that you see one of your best friends take the stage with her father to sing the national anthem to all in attendance.
โAnd the home of the braveโฆโ
Wow, what a performance!
Naturally, the audience was left speechless.
Some performances donโt even need words.
Their brilliance is impossible to describe! Howโs the game even supposed to follow that?
Paul told USA Today the honest truth about his experience singing the anthem with Reagan.
โIt was a moment neither one of us will ever forget.โ
