… a virtual youth choir was the highlight of the convention’s first night. Made up of young people with ties to all 50 states, the Choir Across America opened the convention with a flawless rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner.”
Ava Accorsi, a 16-year-old Keene High School sophomore, represented New Hampshire.
Ava rehearsed with other singers from around the country over Zoom. But it wasn’t until Monday night that she saw the finished product — and herself on TV. The kids had been warned that not everyone might make the cut, but there she was.
“I was ecstatic,” she said in a phone interview on Friday. “It was absolutely amazing to be able to be on TV and share what I love to do with so many people.”
