Grammy award winning singer/songwriter, Kandi Burruss, who recently announced a planned tour with Fantasia Barrino, will be singing the National Athem at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at the Georgia Dome, prior to the Bank of America Atlanta Football Classic.

The annual event, hosted and produced by the 100 Black Men of Atlanta, will feature plenty of pre-game activity. I was briefed on the festivities at their recent media mixer, where I was joined by V-103′s Rashan Ali, Ray Lavender (of Omarosa’s “The Ultimate Merger) and more:

Pre-Game Show festivities will include an Autograph Village, where you will meet in-house “celebrity” attendees like Doc Shaw of Disney’s “Pair of Kings” and “Tyler Perry’s House of Payne,” the R&B group Jagged Edge, Ray Lavender and Isaac Keys of Donald Trump’s “The Ultimate Merger and others.

Then Tennessee State University and Florida A&M University hit the gridiron. Both schools’ bands will perform at halftime where history will happen as they plan to solicit audience participation in the largest “Cupid Shuffle” ever…

Are you excited? I am…

(Props to P.R.O.S ABC for including me the Vid!)
