PORT ANGELES — August has turned into a hot month for the Peninsula Men’s Gospel Singers, that 19-voice ensemble based in Port Angeles.

On Monday, the singers will deliver “The Star-Spangled Banner” right before the Seattle Mariners-Cleveland Indians game at Safeco Field in Seattle.

Game time is 7:10 p.m., so the men will lift their voices at 7:05 p.m.

Their director, Lee Moseley, will lead the singers in their first time performing at a major league baseball game.

Karen Coles of Port Angeles, as she often does at Peninsula Men’s Gospel Singers performances, will provide sign language interpretation.

Then, on Aug. 24, the singers will again offer the national anthem, this time on City Pier for Port Angeles’ 150th anniversary celebration.

That event is set to start at 6 p.m.
