Mayor Sarno states, “Congratulations to Springfield proud Michelle Brooks-Thompson on being asked to sing our National Anthem to kick-off the 127^th Boston Marathon.  This is such a tremendous and well-deserved honor.  Michelle has such a magnificent and powerful voice that will without a doubt strengthen the hearts and minds of those in attendance.  She is truly an amazing talent and a wonderful person.  From performing at my inaugural gala in 2020, singing our National Anthem for our Boston Red Sox and Celtics, and performing at other various national events, including the NFL AFC Divisional Game at Arrowhead Stadium, all of us here in Springfield are rooting and cheering for her.  Congratulations and way to go Michelle!”
