BRIEF: DePaul's Dave Leitao gets voice lesson before Wrigley Field performance

May 12--Dave Leitao isn't one to shy away from a challenge. In March, he agreed to return to DePaul and try to resurrect the Blue Demons' long-dormant basketball program. On Thursday, Leitao will tackle singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" at Wrigley Field.

College basketball coaches always preach the importance of preparation, and Leitao decided to take his own advice for his seventh-inning stretch assignment. In a video produced by DePaul Hoops TV, Leitao gets singing tips from DePaul School of Music voice professor Michael Sylvester.

Will the voice lesson pay off? Tune in during the seventh inning of the Cubs-Mets game Thursday at Wrigley Field to find out.
