The whole album is available for purchase for $9.99 on iTunes or $8.99 on Amazon.

If you live in McKinney and get the McKinney Courier-Gazette, you may have noticed some familiar faces in the paper when you read the morning news on Sunday. Fine Spirits made the front page! Our upcoming album release party on June 5th shared top billing with the newly proposed MISD budget. Students will be getting new Mac laptops, and we are throwing a party at Cafe Malaga.
The reporter, Chris Beattie, hung out with us at one of our rehearsals in Carl’s garage, and did a wonderful write-up about our group. On the paper’s website, Chris also included a video of us practicing the song “With A Little Help From My Friends.”

Lone Star Park News Spot
What a beautiful day to make our annual trip down to Grand Prairie to audition to sing our National Anthem at Lone Star Park. In the past we were asked to sing on opening day for the Spring racing season. We hope to get selected again. It is a fun place to be on race day, with all the horses and hubbub.
While we were warming up in the uncommonly quiet courtyard area, a newsman smiled and said we “need more practice” and that we “better sing it again”. They came over and set their cameras in front of us to sing once more. With our warm up complete, Carl answered a few questions about us and we went in to our audition.
We all agreed that the 12 year old singer that went ahead of us (Liam), has a nice set of pipes. A big sound from a small body.
We will let you know if we get selected to sing.

Allen Americans Hockey
- Singing our National Anthem for an Allen Americans game
- Chris delivering the Fine Spirits wave to the crowd
We sang our new arrangement of ‘The Star Spangled Banner” for the Allen Americans at the Allen Events Center. Our rendition was well received considering the compliments and the fact that none of us got checked into the boards as we shuffled off the ice.
The Allen Americans beat The St. Charles Chill 3-1. It’s a great venue and a well run & entertaining event.
Prelude to Midnight Mass
- Christmas Eve prelude at St. Gabriel
Look Up Children, there’s a star in the sky!
Fine Spirits was excited to be part of ringing in Christmas at St Gabriel the Archangel by singing prelude music with the choir and several talented soloists. Our own lead, Carl Reinelt, closed out the prelude music by presenting “Sweet Little Jesus Boy”… a cappella of course!
Thanks to Music Director, David Cloutier, for including us again this year. Welcome Christmas.
Caroling at the Allen Event Center
- Caroling at The Allen Event Center
We recently enjoyed the opportunity to welcome many Allen Americans (and a handful of Brampton Beast) fans to a December game by caroling on the concourse as they arrived for the game. Thanks to fans and friends who sang along and danced with holiday spirit!
We will be singing The National Anthem for a game against St Charles on Sunday, January 26th. It is a great setting and so close to home.
Consider coming out to sing with us and take in a game.
