Super Bowl Signer has NTID ties

A former NTID student will sign the national anthem at Sunday's Super Bowl. The National Association of the Deaf selected Amber Zion based on an audition tape. Zion graduated from RIT’s National Technical Institute for the Deaf a decade ago. Her husband is also a graduate from the Rochester school. She has appeared off-Broadway, major television programs and commercials. Zion has played leading roles for Deaf West Theater and acted in independent films. Soprano Renee Fleming will sing the National Anthem live on the FOX telecast. Here's a video about her selection.
