My wife and I attended TV Polo games this past Sunday and really enjoyed the event. We found it weird, however, that the National Athem was not played at the beginning of the event. Many people around us stood up expecting it to be played but the game began without it. Anyone else find that strange?

The national anthem is sung LIVE every Sunday before the 2pm match.
Yesterday it was sung by a girl about 10 years old with a very beautiful voice.
Glad you enjoyed the games. In between the two matches on Sundays there is entertainment. Yesterday, they had a wonderful painter. He painted to music as everyone looked on and tried to guess what it was. When he was done, he flipped the painting and it was a painting of John Wayne......which he had painted sideways.....quite a show. The painting was auctioned off at the end of the day. They raised $600 for a good charity. The matches are always exciting and always something different in between. Next week is International Week. They have two teams coming over to play. One from Barbados and one from South Africa. Should be really fun !
