They will combine to sing a medley of patriotic favorites including Yankee Doodle, You're a Grand Old Flag, This Land is Your Land and God Bless the USA.

    Hazel is a well-known singer who has soloed with numerous musical groups and in many opera and Broadway musical productions. She is a member of the Corvallis Repertory Singers.
