Brittany Dally, Bettendorf Middle School 8th grader, will sing the national anthem at the Quad City River Bandits game Friday, May 10 at John O'Donnell Stadium.
Dally has been singing since she was a three-year-old in Oklahoma.
She has sung often at the Bettendorf Christian Church and at school and church functions. She's also preformed with her friends in the Children's Holiday Pops for the past five years.
The warmer breezes of spring have arrived and this year, without the threat of flooding along the Mississippi River. The Interstate 74 (Iowa-Illinois Memorial Bridge) arches toward the Illinois shore and downtown Moline.
Hundreds of father, mothers, boys and girls took to the baseball diamonds this week as tryouts for the Bettendorf-Pleasant Valley Youth Baseball program got under way. The tryouts for the Pinto, Mustang, Bronco and Pony leagues aren't to limit players, but evaluate players according to their abilities for equal distribution and equal competition among the dozens of the teams. The youth baseball season is to begin later this month despite the colder-than-usual spring weather.
