All three newscasts closed with performers invited to the January 20th festivities. CBS' Road to the Inauguration series had Byron Pitts travel to New Haven to profile Professor Elizabeth Alexander, the poetess who will recite at the ceremony: "There is almost a quiet pool in which they are able to stand and think for a moment," she explained about her audience. "That is part of what poetry does. It arrests us."
NBC and ABC both profiled musical performers from charter schools. NBC's Rehema Ellis traveled to Harlem to show us the classical orchestra at the Opus 118 School of Music. ABC anchor Charles Gibson narrated musical footage of the choir at the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta. Before the Inaugural Committee spotted the Clark singers online, Gibson bragged, ABC News had already called them its Persons of the Week.
