Update (7/8/23): Eliana came through, inspiring the Sox to a 10-6 win with her rendition of the National Anthem.
Eliana Aliprantis, the 12-year-old Natick student who impressively sang the Star-Spangled Banner at two Boston Celtics games this past season, has now earned her shot at Fenway Park.
The rising Wilson Middle School 8th grader is slated to deliver the National Anthem before the Red Sox-Texas Rangers game at Fenway on Thursday, July 6. The game starts at 7:10pm.
This talented theatre arts performer and singer’s opportunity to sing before a couple of Celtics games has turned her family into big fans of the hometown team (“Nothing like experiencing those live games to get the bug in you!” says her mom, Kim).
Her father and grandfather are already huge baseball fans. “Truth be told, as Eliana makes the circuit in the sports world she is quickly becoming a fan!” her mother says.
