NFL | Bengals at Browns | Pregame & Entertainment (Oct 31, 2022)

From the Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns game on October 31, 2022. This was a first for me – a Monday Night Football game on Halloween! Of course, it contained all the musical pageantry and theatrical spectacle you would expect from my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. And the fans were involved as well – radio controlled LED wristbands were part of the show! The National Anthem was performed by Emyrson Flora. A Senior at Walsh Jesuit High School. She was recently the youngest top 10 finalist in American Idol history. The halftime entertainment was a dance routine to “Thriller” performed by ballroom dancers from the Fred Astaire Dance Studio of Willoughby, cheerleaders, break dancers and members of the Cleveland Cavaliers Scream Team. I only included the horror film setup for obvious “copyright claim” reasons. I did include the “Thunderstruck” routine before the start of the Fourth Quarter. At this time, I do not know who played violin/fiddle. But the guitar solo was a repeat performance by 12 year old Max Stakolich from Rocky River Middle School. Since I’m risking YouTube purgatory – I may as well include the celebration after Nick Chubb’s final rushing touchdown of the night. He finished with 101 yards on 23 carries and 2 scores.
