Dominican College’s a cappella group Pitches and Cream performed the National Anthem at the Mets game at Citi Field on Saturday, September 3, 2016.

“What an incredible, indescribable experience,” said Musical Director of Pitches and Cream Lydia Maynard, Ph.D. “To have the honor of singing the National Anthem in front of 36,000 people, hearing the crowd erupt in applause during our final notes, having two Mets players walk by us as we rehearsed near the tunnel, and most importantly, representing Dominican College – none of us will ever forget this experience.”

Students, faculty, and administrators traveled by bus to the Mets game to support Pitches and Cream and cheer the singers on from the stands. Pitches and Cream was formed three years ago by Maynard who is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the College.
