The Orlando Magic have now featured seven-year-old Gina Marie Incandela four times singing the National Anthem, and four times they’ve won.
Remarkable since Gina was born with autism and couldn’t even pronounce words. Her parents enrolled her in the University of Central Florida, where speech therapists used music to coach her into speaking. It worded magic (there’s that word again), and especially so after she heard Leanne Rimes sing "The Star Spangled Banner." She copied that recording, learned it by heart, and you can now hear the results in this video:
