Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals on Thursday night in Houston got off to a great start before any of the action began.
Students from Santa Fe High School, about 30-40 minutes outside of Houston, attended Game 5 between the Rockets and Golden State Warriors. Members of the school’s choir sang the national anthem prior to the game and did a great job.

The choir members were wearing T-shirts that said “SF Strong” on them and featured the state of Texas. 10 people died in a shooting at the school last week. Both the school and first responders were honored before the game.
