Goosebumps Guaranteed: Trooper Stuns With Anthem at NYS Fair

When it comes to kicking off a night of music at the New York State Fair, few moments are as special as the National Anthem—and this year, Trooper Andrew Young of the New York State Police delivered a performance that left the crowd in awe.

Just before country star Carly Pearce took the stage at Suburban Park, Trooper Young stepped up to the microphone, and what followed was one of the most moving renditions of the anthem you’re likely to ever hear.

From the very first note, the audience could feel the respect and love he has for the country reflected in every word. Fans said it was a performance that gave goosebumps, a moment that perfectly captured the spirit of the Fair and the excitement of live music.
