Sol Fest
Think you can belt out a stirring rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner?"
The Los Angeles Sol, the new Women's Professional Soccer franchise based in
Carson, is holding a national anthem "sing-off" at its Sol Fest March 8 at Home Depot Center.
The winner of the contest, performed in front of a panel of judges, will be
invited to sing at a Sol home game.
The free Sol Fest, which includes an open practice by the team, music, games
and locker room tours, runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. And not so coincidentally you can buy season tickets and pick out your seat.

And let's hope this guy doesn't show up at the contest:
