I started to post this and decided to do a search first. This is one thread that ought to be stickied to the top of the page, or a link to somewhere on the main page. This is outstanding, indeed.
In all my life, no matter where it is played, I have yet to make it all the way through this great Anthem without getting choked up or misty-eyed.
Should be played every day in schools.

I don't think I could have held the camera that composed.
For 8, 10, 11 and 13 years old, that was incredible. Heck there are many "professional" adult singers who can't sing that good. I see groups (like school chorus's) where one or two singers might standout but 5 in one group is amazing.

Of course I'm Texas Proud, and a little biased, but hell yeah, EXCELLENT :'(, and as to the last verse. " Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave, o'er the land of the free and home of the brave" At least in Texas, HELL YES IT DOES ;D
No offense Peeps, this got me going, I know there are people in every state who keep the fire burning, but these girls are my Peeps and I'm Texas Proud.
Thanks Haz.

Thank you Haz. Something in my DNA I guess when I hear our National Anthem, just makes me proud to be American.

Things like that bring tears to my eyes and I'm not ashamed to admit it. It really good to hear kids sing it with such feeling. Another one that brings shivers to my spine is the singing of The Battle Hymn of the Republic by the Army Chorus when George Bush welcomed Pope Benedict to the White house earlier this Spring.

Wow their ages amazed me. And yes I too got all teary eyed. I guess it is just the setting of it all the makes it so surreal-
Somewhere down in texas, before a game, on some night, our flag and all in which it represents is being honored, while men and women 8000 miles aways are sacrificing all that they have. It just shows the true Americana. The heart and soul of our America.
5 young Americans with microphones, can make their voices come together and make people believe and come together.

Those kids are great. Its about the innocence, trust and honesty of children. I saw a different version of the Cactus Cuties several months ago. They are trying to bust into show business and I wish them luck.
Now this rendition of the anthem will also bring tears to your eyes... :)

This is the rendition that should be played at all major events. I hope our men and women in our service get to hear it. They need to be reassured that we do care and do still honor our Flag and our Country, that they do not stand on the wall alone.
