The New England Revolution of Major League Soccer sponsored the auditions.

From New England Revolution: Guada Mary Benoit, 18, of Norwich, CT was one of eleven finalists invited by the New England Revolution to compete for the chance to perform the national anthem at a Revs home match during the 2018 season.
