Glen Ellyn Singer Kate Wild Performing National Anthem at Upcoming Sox Game

Kate Wild may only be 12, but the resident has experience performing in front of very large crowds. 

Soon, she will get the chance to do it again. Kate will have the honor of singing the national anthem at an upcoming Chicago White Sox game that will celebrate students going back to school.

She will sing the "Star Spangled Banner" before the 1:10 p.m. game Aug. 26 when the White Sox take on the Seattle Mariners. The White Sox are hosting the last kids day of the season and the theme will be "Back to School Carnival." 

Recently, Kate sang the national anthem before the start of the Chicago Bears preseason game against the Denver Broncos. She also sang the anthem at U.S. Cellular Field earlier this summer. She performed the "Star Spangled Banner," "O Canada" and "God Bless America" before the White Sox game against the Toronto Blue Jays on July 8, according to the Chicago White Sox.

On Aug. 26, children who attend the game will have the chance to play carnival games including skeeball and Bozo buckets, Chicago White Sox management said. Cartoon characters Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck will be on hand to entertain and pose for photos with children.

In addition, prior to the game, select players will participate in an autograph session at 11:30 a.m. 

Tickets for children 13 and under will be $1 when with a fully paid adult and available at the U.S. Cellular Field ticket window the day of the game.
