MCLEAN COUNTY (25News Now) – A 25-year-old music teacher from Bloomington, Destinee Feliciano, was announced as the winner of the Chicago White Sox National Anthem Contest. She is a lifelong fan of the team. Feliciano will sing the anthem before the game on Tuesday, Sept. 10 vs. Cleveland at 6:40 p.m.

This will be Feliciano’s second time performing for the White Sox and their fans. She previously performed the anthem before a game as part of an a cappella group in 2019.
