Mira Costa Choir
For the past several years the Mira Costa Choir has sung the National Anthem prior to the start of each race. While we won’t get to hear them live this year, they have recorded a beautiful version that we can all still enjoy! Over the past three weeks, students each recorded their choir part for the National Anthem. They rehearsed it online (with students only hearing themselves over Zoom). Please click on the video above to give it a listen.
“Our choirs are much more exciting in person, but I'm proud to submit this {video} as a result of our first efforts teaching the students how to make decent recordings of themselves at home, that can be combined into a virtual choir. I hope the runners enjoy this unique version of the National Anthem. It's become a very special tradition for us.”
