Three Las Vegas Mass Choir Members
Sing the American National Anthem at the
Chavez, Jr. /Martinez Fight
(Las Vegas, NV September 2012) Performing at a professional Boxing Match is a dream yet to
be fulfilled by many. Three of the Las Vegas Mass Choir members had this exceptional
experience on Saturday, September 15th. Their performance was excellent.
It was amazing to be ringside for the World Boxing Council middleweight title fight between
champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and former champion Sergio Martinez of Argentina. The bout
at Thomas and Mack Center matched the 26-year-old son of the Mexican legend in his ultimate
test against the 37-year-old southpaw Martinez, who was voted the 2010 fighter of the year, the
audience tallied over 19,000 people.
As the Boxing bout main event was about to begin the crowd became more engaged. I was
energized being only 8 rows from the ring. The Argentinean National Anthem was sung first,
followed by the Mexican National Anthem. It was clear during the singing of the national
anthems that the arena was packed with Mexican fans as they were loudly singing their national
anthem. The American National Anthem was sung last by Timothy Wells, Veronica “Lady V”
Morton and Denise Robinson who are members of the Las Vegas Mass Choir.
Choir Master, Director and Founder of The Las Vegas Mass Choir James R. Smith has stated,
“… the LVMC sings to bless others, there is a message in every song … they give the gift of
music.” The Las Vegas Mass Choir began in 2004 when renowned Choir Master James R.
Smith was contracted to audition, select and develop a 15-voice ensemble from the Las Vegas
area. “Mass Appeal” was the choir’s first nationally distributed CD; that was completed in April of
2005 a second CD; “Hold On” was released in 2010.
The Las Vegas Mass Choir is currently a common name on gospel television and radio
networks throughout the United States. The Choir has traveled to perform throughout the
United States and to the Melbourne Jazz Festival in Australia. Over the years The Las Vegas
Mass Choir has received numerous awards and commendations for their captivating
