Kickoff list from Crain's Detroit Business. Add your suggestions below.

I attended #2 at the Basilica in D.C. Wednesday evening.

For those not familiar, the Sistine Chapel Choir is the "Pope's choir." Their music is called 'Sacred Music.' All of the music is from the Renaissance period and was sung in Latin. There are no musical instruments.

The selections were from various periods of the church's liturgical calendar, e.g., Advent, Lent including Holy Week, etc.

I'll add #11 and 12:

#11 Opening hockey game at Little Caesars Arena.

#12 The Lions attempt to go undefeated after week #3 and open up a lead in their division.
