Chesnut to Sing the National Anthem at Turner Field!

That's right! Chesnut students in Grades 2-5 (current) are eligible to sing the National Anthem at the Braves game at Turner field on Sunday, June 17 at 1:30pm. This could be a "once-in-a-lifetime" experience for our kids! BUT.... in order for this to happen, at least 250 tickets must be sold for this game -- ONLY tickets purchased through the school count toward the 250.

We want to see and hear a loud, friendly Chesnut group at the game! Use this form to complete the order Braves Tickets Order Form.

If you want your Grade 2-5 student (current) to be able to sing on the field on game day, you must 1) purchase the Braves tickets and 2) review the details on the Braves - Sing the Anthem Form, then sign the form and turn it in.
