Although the performance was not held at the Grand Ole Opry House, the Omni’s Broadway Ballroom was transformed and featured the Opry’s signature barn backdrop and famous microphone stand. The performance was sponsored by Disabled American Veterans and was available to all CRS registrants.

CRS runs through Wednesday, February 10 in Nashville.
