Gilroy High School Choir Performed National Anthem For SF Giants

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — A measure of resilience, high school choir members gave a full-throated version of 'Gilroy Strong' Sunday when they provided a rousing performance of the 'Star Spangled Banner' before tens of thousands of screaming San Francisco Giants fans.

The singers launched the Giants into a 2-1 win over the Miami Marlins during "Strike Out Violence" Day. Appropriately enough, the teens have been forced to undergo a striking out or a decompression having to recover from a July 28 mass shooting that killed four people including the gunman during their town's prized Garlic Festival.

The baseball fans rewarded the group led by Choir Director Jonathan Souza with a raucous applause as a tip-of-the-hat measure.

The choir has been in demand at major sporting events lately, having performed at San Jose Giants and Oakland Athletics games. Next up, the ensemble is due to serenade San Jose Sharks fans on Jan. 27.
