Christopher Macchio, known as "America's tenor," is set to sing the national anthem at his high school alma mater, Sachem North, in a home game against William Floyd on Friday night. Macchio, who gained fame for performing the "Star-Spangled Banner" at President Trump’s second inauguration and singing multiple events during the administration, expressed that it will bring everything full circle. Despite severe stage fright during his high school years, he credits one choral teacher for helping him overcome his fear to share his gift with the world. His journey includes performances like singing "America the Beautiful" at the World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium in July.
