The Cedar Rapids Kernels are Looking for National Anthem Singers As someone who has sung "The Star-Spangled Banner" at all sorts of school and sporting events, I can tell you that it is NOT easy. It takes a lot of guts to get up there and sing our country's National Anthem with a large group of people staring at you. It makes me nervous just thinking about it! If you think you have what it takes, the Cedar Rapids Kernels want you to send in an audition tape. Yesterday afternoon, the Cedar Rapids Kernels posted on their Facebook page that they are on the hunt for National Anthem singers for the season. Both individuals and groups of people are invited to audition virtually. All you have to do is send in a video via email to Scott Wilson at
