The U.S. Military Academy Cadet Glee Club.

WEST POINT, N.Y. –- Members of the U.S. Military Academy Cadet Glee Club will sing the National Anthem during the pre-game activities of Super Bowl XXXIX in Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 6.

Twenty-five Glee Club members will join with 25 singers from each of the other service academies (Navy, Air Force & Coast Guard). The participating male and female cadets represent all four classes at West Point. The joint choir will perform a tribute to veterans, which commemorates the end of World War II. The theme of the Super Bowl pre-game is “bridging generations.”

The Glee Club cadets are West Point’s musical ambassadors, performing at high-profile events such as the Fiesta Bowl, the World Series at Yankee Stadium, presidential library events and the commemoration ceremonies at Ground Zero on Sept. 11, 2002.

The mission of the U.S. Military Academy is to educate, train and inspire the Corps of Cadets, officials said, so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country; professional growth throughout a career as an officer in the United States Army; and a lifetime of selfless service to the Nation.

Pre-game coverage will begin at 6:30 p.m. on the Fox network.
