1040 WHO Radio, in partnership with Van Wall Equipment, is proud to bring back the National Anthem on Monday mornings as part of their commitment to honoring America’s spirit through the power of music.
Local high school and college students, choirs, orchestras, bands, and solo performers were invited to submit MP3 recordings of the National Anthem and God Bless America.
The CD Quartet—comprised of Addie Brown, Payton Phillips, Anden Hall, and Allison Rhueport—recorded The Star-Spangled Banner, which was submitted by Mrs. Hall.
We are thrilled to announce that their recording was accepted and played this past Monday morning at 5:00 A.M. The students were excited to have their performance featured, and a few community members who were awake at that hour had the opportunity to hear it.
Congratulations to the CD Quartet!
