Refreshing to hear it sung with a minimum of "pop."

I HATE when they get pop stars or gospel wannabees to sing it and they insist on screwing around with and "jazzing" it up. The Star-Spangled Banner should be sung and played straight.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Just closed my eyes & let the usual goosebumps come.  Funny how a few little girls can make an ol' soldier tear up.  Absolutely beautiful.  I hope everyone will take a minute and watch it.  God Bless America.

Wow! Gave me goosebumps.
One of the best renditions that I've heard.
What's telling is how long the crowd stays quiet before breaking into applause. Usually the crowds start cheering well before the song ends.
Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. ... Bertrand Russell

Texas crowd, we got class :)

On a serious note, those girls' ages: 8, 10, 11, 11, 13. Their parents deserve to be proud.
