Andy Reid will soon be back on your TV — but not for what you think The Kansas City Chiefs head coach will serve as a guest narrator for the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square during a special broadcast celebrating the United States’ 250th anniversary in July. The event, titled “Music & the Spoken Word,” will be presented live twice on July 5 from Salt Lake City. Reid’s role will involve reflecting on the values of unity, perseverance, and faith that have shaped American history, as announced by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Reid, who has lived near Independence Hall in Philadelphia for over a decade, highlighted the Founding Fathers’ resilience in overcoming challenges to create a lasting nation. “They were the ultimate team—facing adversity, staying the course, and building something that has endured for 250 years,” he said in a church release. Reid expressed pride in joining the choir to commemorate the nation’s founding in a location that embodies the same spirit of unity and faith. The Tabernacle Choir, nearly 180 years old, has performed in global venues and was once called “America’s Choir” by President Ronald Reagan. It received the National Medal of Arts in 2003. Choir president Michael O. Leavitt emphasized the choir’s role in honoring the Declaration of Independence’s proclamation of religious freedom. The July 5 broadcast will air twice—once at 9:30 a.m. and again at 11 a.m. MDT—on television, radio, and the choir’s YouTube channel. In-person attendance requires tickets, with registration details to be released later. The choir is also part of “America’s Soundtrack,” a national playlist organized by America250 to mark the semiquincentennial.#andy_reid #tabernacle_choir #temple_square #america250 #michael_o_leavitt
