  • O Say Can You Sing? Fall
    familiar lyrics ring out before the beginning of practically every sporting event in America. “O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light...,” You’ve probably chimed in on The Star-Spangled Banner hundreds of times and know the entire song by heart. But would you be able to sing it solo, in front of more than 60,000 people right before kickoff in Vaught- Hemingway Stadium? “It is much more difficult than it appears,” said Julia Aubrey, as- sociate professor of music at the University of Mississippi. “Even some of the most professional singers we have brought in have found it disconcerting.” Aubrey works with Ole Miss Athletics game-day committee mem- bers Brandon Hudspeth and Michael Thompson and choral director Don Trott to find national anthem singers for every home football game. Each summer, she begins by scheduling the campus choral groups, which include the concert singers and women’s and men’s glee clubs, to sing when they are available, and then fills in the rest with soloists. “There is no norm, there are no specifics; the way we find singers changes each year,” Aubrey said. Although there are no hard rules on selecting singers for the games, Aubrey enjoys searching for and bringing back Ole Miss graduates each O Say Can You Sing? fall. Former student Bonnie Borst Clowney returned to campus in 2011 to perform during the Brigham Young University vs. Ole Miss game.
