Chiefs News: The Haygoods Will Perform the National Anthem vs. Bengals
According to Chiefs insider Matt Derrick, it will be The Haygoods performing the anthem.
The Haygoods are a popular local band out of Branson, Missouri. Band member Tim Haygood couldn’t contain his excitement about the honor.
“We are absolutely thrilled that this opportunity has come our way. After 32 years of performing on the Branson stage, we feel blessed and surprised to get to sing at the Chiefs game in the legendary ‘Arrowhead Stadium.’
This is one of the biggest opportunities of our lives, and we are humbled and thankful. What an honor! We’ve been rehearsing our version of National Anthem, featuring the harmonies that we’ll be singing live, and plan to do our absolute best to represent Branson and The Ozarks to a national audience.”
The band made the announcement during their show on Friday and shared the news on their social media accounts.
The Haygoods have been performing in the state for the last 32 years. They currently perform at the Clay Cooper Theatre in Branson.
They reportedly received the invite after the Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleaders made a scheduled appearance in town, according to Branson Globe. Let’s hope the iconic hometown band brings good luck to Patrick Mahomes & Co. who are hoping to get to 2-0.
