The South County 4th of July Committee is thrilled to announce that LT Fiona Sullivan, USN, NC, Liv Garcia, Mackenzie Coetzee, and a Quartet from The Woodlands Show Chorus will be performing at this year’s Fourth of July Parade at three key locations along the parade route.
Parade-goers will enjoy National Anthem performances by Liv Garcia at Market Street, LT Fiona Sullivan, USN, NC, at Town Green Park, and Mackenzie Coetzee in front of the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, setting the stage for a patriotic day of celebration and unity.
Later in the morning, the Quartet from The Woodlands Show Chorus will conclude the parade with a powerful rendition of “God Bless America” from the Market Street balcony, creating a memorable finale for parade spectators.
Join us for these inspiring performances as we celebrate our community, our traditions, and our nation’s enduring spirit.
Born in Opelousas, Louisiana and raised in The Woodlands, Texas, 15-year-old vocalist Liv Garcia has been singing for as long as she can remember. Now entering her sophomore year of high school, Liv has been performing on stage since the age of nine and continues to grow her passion for music through choir, live performance, and songwriting.
For the past six seasons, Liv has had the honor of performing both “God Bless America” and the National Anthem for the Houston Astros. Her performance experience also includes National Anthem appearances for Veterans Day ceremonies at Bush Intercontinental Airport and events for The Woodlands Township.
Liv has attended the Sarah Kelly Music School since the age of nine under the guidance of two-time Grammy nominee Sarah Kelly. Her debut single “Good Enough For Me” earned her placement on the Grammy ballot and she plans to continue developing her artistry while pursuing new music and performance opportunities.
Outside of music, Liv enjoys spending time with family and friends, playing piano, attending concerts, and sharing her musical journey on Instagram at @liv_onthemic.
