It’s been quite a year for the Staples Orphenians.
In March they traveled to — and wowed — San Francisco, as part of the prestigious Chanticleer festival.
Tonight they did the same at Yankee Stadium.

They had to wait out an hour-and-20-minute rain delay — hey, that’s show biz — but when they finally stood at home plate, they delivered a strong, sophisticated and inspiring rendition of our national anthem.
The largest crowd ever to watch the Orphenians perform gave them a loud, well-deserved hand.
Best of all, they made it onto the Jumbotron.
