what you are used to doing or have you played in front of people before? so i have played in front of people before. i have been playing guitar for a very long time. and i played for my school multiple times and before that i was actually in a sort of after school band-type thing and we played concerts just about once every month. so i have had some type of experience playing in front of people but actually never played the national anthem for a crowd before so that was a new experience for me. todd: obviously that song an important song in our country. trey tre what does patriotism mean to you. it means a lot to me. we play the national anthem before the home game. it s a representation of what it means to be in this country it. means great deal to me to be able to play that song and to represent this country the best as i possibly can. ashley: you know tray, my
