Summary

Kendal Conrad, a seasoned singer with nearly two decades of experience, is currently undertaking an ambitious project to perform the United States' national anthem 250 times by the end of 2026. This goal aligns with the nation's upcoming 250th anniversary. Conrad's journey into this specific performance niche began unexpectedly after numerous invitations to sing at Major League Baseball games, which sparked the idea to potentially perform for all 30 MLB teams.
Initially aiming for weekly performances, Conrad's objective grew significantly after realizing the potential scope. She has since expanded her performances beyond sporting events to include galas and dinners, taking her across the country. With nearly 228 performances completed as of late 2026, Conrad is actively working to reach her 250-show target, with the possibility of extending her goal to 500 performances. She also envisions performing the anthem in all 50 states.
