This year’s “Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon” started with a stunning duet from the America’s Got Talent star; Darci Lynne and her mother, Misty. The duo took the stage to sing a version of the National Anthem that gave everyone in the audience goosebumps.
Now, Darci Lynne is known for her incredible Ventriloquism skills, so when she got on stage without her puppets, no one knew what to expect. Darci showed everyone what her voice was really capable of and left the audience speechless. The duo took turns singing the verses of the Anthem, and blended their voices perfectly. The crowd fell silent, completely mesmerized by their stunning performance.
This performance showed a new side of Darci. It proved that she is not just a ventriloquist but also a talented singer who’s ready to grow in her career. The fact that she was singing next to her mom, made the moment even more special.
The marathon itself was about more than running. It honored the victims of the ‘1995 Oklahoma City bombing’. Over 22,000 runners joined the race to remember those who were lost and celebrate the strength of the community.
One runner said, “When I see the names of the victims, my pain goes away, and I feel lifted up.”
When they finished singing, the crowd was cheering and the runners felt re-energized. The runners clapped as they passed by and the volunteers cheered.
The day was not just about finishing the race. It was about hope, healing, and remembering the power of coming together as a community. Darci and Misty’s duet added another layer of emotion that made the night truly special. As many have been watching Darci from her first performance, this moment really touched their hearts and made them proud to see how Darci’s talent just keeps growing.
