On Sept. 28, Medway High School student Meghan Kealey sang the national anthem at the New England Revolution game at Gillette Stadium.
“It was one of the best experiences of my life,” said Kealey, who sang The Star-Spangled Banner in front of a crowd of 42,000 people (the fifth-largest home crowd in club history). “Being on the field and singing in the stadium was so surreal. Having all those people listening to me was like a dream and so insanely cool.”

Kealey, a junior at Medway High, has been singing since she was very young. She says she has recently become more involved in music through the school choir and private voice lessons.
Kealey says she learned about the audition online and decided to apply.
“I didn’t think anything of it because I assumed I would be rejected because of how young I am,” Kealey said. But her video submission earned her a spot as one of the finalists, she auditioned in person at Patriot Place in April, and was chosen as the winner.
Kealey said, “It was truly the coolest experience ever and taught me that stepping out of my comfort zone can result in so many amazing opportunities.”
