Secrecy Surrounded Indianapolis Children’s Choir’s Super Bowl Gig

He had been pushing for two years to get his kids involved in the Super Bowl. He thought that he would have heard something by then, so he figured he was out of luck.  But the call from the NFL did come, with a vague message: “We have something we’d like you to do on the weekend of February 5.”

ICC management had to sign a five-page nondisclosure form but weren’t told what it was for.  They waited four or five more days before they got their answer: They’d be providing the choir to back up Kelly Clarkson when she sings the national anthem at Lucas Oil Stadium, right before the game.

“We went, ‘anthem choir!?’ ” Leck says.
