You don\u2019t really stop that. So I kept singing and I knew someone would fix it eventually, but within 10, 15 seconds of the song, the entire Coliseum just started singing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cKind of to make up for the fact that my sound wasn\u2019t there and to help me out and to bring it all together,\u201d Raviv continued. \u201cAnd then I got a new microphone and basically continued from where I left off. Everyone started cheering once the sound came back on and we just finished the song together, as a strong collective crowd. It was a blessing in disguise.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The assistance from the game four crowd gave Raviv and her team an idea \u2014 hand the mic to the fans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cOnce we saw the results of that [game four] \u2014 and we won that night \u2014 it was just such great energy in the building,\u201d Raviv continued. \u201cThe atmosphere was really electric and everyone felt a part of it. Then the next game \u2014 which was game six \u2014 my team and I thought about ways to incorporate them [the fans] again. And that\u2019s just what happened. So, I sang in the beginning, and then just gave them the microphone so they could really be heard this time and for it to be intentional.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>Joe Morgan is the Sports Reporter for The Daily Wire.
