With a children's choir, I would expect the over might be a good play. They would stretch things out to make sure the camera had a chance to cover each of them.
Or they could take a cue from the Chinese Olympic organizers and get a beautiful group of kids to lip sync to a recording of a children's choir that can really sing.

Indoor stadium.


Oops, yes, I knew that, and of course that makes it a non-factor. Unless they do it anyway for the outside TV shot... (hurgmmm).

I also recall that there was a jet fly by on last years Superbowl anthem, which make me believe there's a certain element of timing required for everyone to sync?
Nope. They merely monitor the broadcast for their cue.

Those birds are moving fast, circling a couple miles away. Far enough away that they can't be seen or heard, but close enough and fast enough so that, on cue, they can turn and fly over the stadium in a matter of seconds.
Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown. But how much does it cost to knock on wood?

Did the Wizard bet No Safety? I have heard him say he likes that bet.

Seems someone managed $200 to win $15,000; and the BBC on their live showing of the Superbowl are saying bookies might have lost £20k (though can't find anything about it on the internet).
