If you are not stirred by this I don’t know what else to do for you

YT-

Approximately 1000 students from all around the state of Kentucky gather together each evening during the KMEA conference to sing our great nation’s Anthem. It is truly an amazing experience.

…students stay at the 18-story Louisville Downtown Hyatt Hotel during the Kentucky state-wide chorus competition, which is part of the Kentucky Music Educators Convention.

Every night before curfew, they all gather on their balconies in the atrium and sing the National Anthem. This happens every year during this competition.

  1. I think, for the first time in nearly 50 years of life, I may take a vacation to see this. Finally, something worth seeing.

    BTW, the YT comments are worth reading while listening over and over to this beautifully haunting rendition.

  2. I have lived 73 years as a military brat, wife, mother, and grandmother. I treasure the memories of the National Anthem being played before movies and so many other times, while a dependent all over the U.S and several other countries. It never fails to bring tears and gratitude to my heart to have the honor of being an American.

  3. I still can’t understand these kneelers when they put their hand over their heart and look to the sky. Hey stooooopid kneelers: you are shamed. Look at the ground when this Blessed song is playing. Take your hand off your heart you have no heart. You are not good enough to KNEEL in front of this song, just lie on the ground.

  4. It is amazing to hear the Anthem sung correctly as it was meant to be. Too bad some of the professional singers can not do half as well! Singing the Anthem is not about the singer but meant to express praise and thanksgiving for the opportunities and accomplishments of this great country as well as to revere the memories of those that make it possible. And not one of them grabbed their groin either. Bookmarked it so I can start each day going forward. Thanks.
