don78710 on JEFC Gary Godwin posted this June 15, 2010 article on Facebook. This was a casting call to sing at the US Tennis Open:The line of eager singers at Radio City Music Hall started around 5:30 a.m. with Jackie Evancho, 10, the first contestant in line with her mother Lisa and six-year-old sister Rachel. The trio drove to New York from Pittsburgh through the night, arriving at around 4 a.m. after the six-hour trip and was on line at 5:30.
Jackie performs classical crossover music across the country and one of her recent performances was singing the national anthem at Opening Day for the Pittsburgh Pirates this spring. When the family heard about the casting call, it seemed perfect for Jackie, who also loves tennis and just started taking lessons.
"I’ve been singing for two years and I also play violin and piano," Jackie Evancho said. "And I’m a big tennis fan, it is just fun. Fitness, fun and friends – that is what you get when you play tennis." www.usopen.org/young_singers_come_out_for_us_open_casting_call/Not part of the article, but appropriate!: --- Comments I believe that Jackie won that audition to sing the NA also. She had to cancel because it was conflicting with AGT. Someone correct me if I am wrong about this. That's correct David, per these 3 tweets: Don
