MUSKEGON, Mich. — Cheerleaders from Reeths-Puffer, Mona Shores, Zeeland East and Muskegon were all gathered at Muskegon High School for a cheer competition Wednesday and were waiting for the national anthem to play.
An issue with the sound system kept the anthem from being played. There were several attempts to fix it, but all were unsuccessful.
Then the varsity cheerleaders from Muskegon High School decided to improvise and started singing the anthem on their own.
The other cheerleaders quickly joined in.
"Quote from the mom," said Julie Andrews, whose daughter was included in the singing.
Andrews was watching from the stands and later posted a recording of the singing on Facebook.
