"American Idol" alumni Jessica Sanchez and Chris Daughtry joined more than a dozen other performers in the annual National Memorial Day Concert in Washington DC on Sunday, May 27 (Monday, May 28 in Manila).
The concert, broadcast live from the US Capitol's West Lawn, is staged annually on the eve of Memorial Day, a holiday honoring men and women who died serving in the US Armed Forces.
Sanchez opened the program with her singing the US national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner," and later sang "The Prayer," one of her trademark songs from "Idol."
It is Sanchez's first performance since the "Idol" finale, where she lost the grand prize to Phillip Phillips.
