Waitress Awaits Big Chance at Super Bowl

Chantele DiBrava will get the weekend off so she can sing at the Super Bowl in Tampa.

Like many entertainment hopefuls, Chantele DiBrava juggles a career and a day job waiting tables. The young singer never thought she would be lucky enough to get an invite to perform at a Super Bowl event.

But that's exactly what she'll be doing in Tampa Sunday, the day of Super Bowl XLIII, which you can see on WNBC News4.

"I called the NFL literally a thousand times, and then finally someone called me back and put me in touch with the host committee," DiBrava said.

The Connecticut native has been a server at Osso Buco in downtown Manhattan for two years. Owner Nino Selimaj treated Chantele and her friends to lunch to celebrate her big news.

"Throughout the years, I've had many hopefuls work for me," Selimaj said. "I'm happy to know one is finally getting someplace."
