New to Opening Ceremonies and the 20th Anniversary of the Coventry Games is a concert, presented by McDonald's, featuring 2006 American Idol Finalist, Elliott Yamin. We are bringing Elliott to help us celebrate our 20th Anniversary. He is a wonderful model to emulate because he has been seen as an underdog, who had no vocal experience or training, coped with near deafness in one ear and Type I diabetes, to go on to achieve success on American Idol and in his musical career.

 

Tickets will be available May 15th
at 10am at the Roanoke Civic
Center Box Office or at

This year’s Coventry Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremonies featured speaker is Olympic Gold Medalist Soccer Player, Tiffany Roberts. Ms. Roberts was a member of the first ever gold medal winning team at the 96 Olympics in Atlanta and a member of the ground breaking World Cup Championship team that brought women’s soccer into historic attention during the summer of 1999. Tiffany became the 16th player in US history to play over 100 matches for her country, captaining the team in 2003, 9 years after she made her international debut with the team at age 16.
