Here's another version of Marcus singing the National Anthem at the Jays game last week. This is a much clearer version, without all the background noise. He clearly nails all the notes and words:

If he didn't land quite right, this may have caused a problem that occasioned his replacement after the Angry Dance. Usually, an effort is made not to stop the show to replace a Billy, but to wait until the interval if at all possible, so I assume this is what occurred here.

Ty, Dillon, and Marcus take a walk on the edge of the top of the CN Tower.

There are also pictures on Dillon's public fan page on Facebook. I love the last one in this set, with all three of them leaning back, over the edge of the world. :P

Totally random, but I was playing QuizUp (which is just a silly phone app), the Musical category, and who did I play against? Marcus Pei. At first, I was like it could be someone else, but the photo is him dancing and it says he's from Iowa. Pretty crazy coincidence.
