July 4th with a National Anthem Singer

If you’re a National Anthem Singer, Independence Day is a very busy holiday and for Catina Mack, a Sanford based performer, this year was no exception.  This year Catina performed at three Independence Day celebrations in the Orlando area and I was selected to document her performances at these events.

On July 3rd, she performed at Red, Hot and Boom [Link], which was sponsored by XL 106.7 and held at Crane’s Roost Lake Park in Uptown Altamonte.  Catina kicked of this event and was followed on stage by Evan Taubenfeld who is best known for being the lead guitarist for singer Avril Lavigne.

On July 4th, she had two performances, the first was at Star Spangled Sanford, which was produced by the City of Sanford and held at Ft. Mellon Park.  Prior to her performance she was interviewed on the radion by Magic 107.7 FM’s Dave and Leslye.

After her performance in Sanford, we made a dash to downtown Orlando for her performance at the City of Orlando’s Fireworks at the Fountain, which took place at Lake Eola.  This performance was broadcast live on Orlando’s WFTV Channel 9 and she was accompanied by the Orlando Concert Band.

Catina did a fantastic job at all three events, be sure to visit her website [Link] and you can watch her performances on YouTube [Link].

I will post images over the next few days, here are some pictures from the Red, Hot and Boom event that was held on July 3rd, 2009.

This picture was taken on the boat that took us to the back of the stage at Crane’s Roost Lake.
