TYLER, Texas (KLTV) – It was a rendition of the national anthem prior to a Texas College football game from choir member, Angel Cummings, that caught the attention of her hometown NFL team.
“I just sing because I like doing it, and it’s crazy that people like hearing me but, I think I am just extremely humbled just to even be considered for something like this,” Cummings said.
Born in Kansas City, her family are fans of the Chiefs.
Cummings said after posting the video of her singing the national anthem, the Hunt family who own the Chiefs contacted her, wanting her to perform the national anthem before their Sunday Night Football against the Houston Texans.
She said it was like a dream come true.
“I’m just so excited to even be in Arrowhead. If you don’t know about that adrenaline that energy that’s in that stadium is super crazy and I’m ready to experience it,” Cummings said.
As a member of the Texas College choir, Cummings has traveled around East Texas and even to DFW to perform.
“I think it’s just a lot of cool experiences that I have been able to have being a part of Texas College Choir,” Cummings said.
But nothing quite like the bright lights of the NFL.
“The closer I’m getting to it. I’m feeling the pressure but I think I’m excited,” Cummings said.
Cummings said she hopes to make her family proud, and represent her choir no matter the pressure she faces.
“Everything happens for a reason and there’s a reason why I was chosen so I think I want to do a good job of showing people that, hey you can choose me again. right now I’m just, I’m just carrying my family on my back like wherever I’m going I wanna take them there with me,” Cummings said.
Texas College Choir Director, Charles Shaw, said that he plans to support her all the way to Kansas City, and root for her from the stands.
“Even when we are not in the choir room, she does a whole lot. So, no other way for me to just go and support her just to let her know that I’m proud of her but just to let her know, you got this,” Shaw said.
The Kansas City Chiefs will play the Houston Texans on December 7th at 7:15 PM, with the national anthem taking place a few minutes before kickoff.
