The Star Spangled Banner like you’ve never heard it!

Discovered this on Facebook…

This was at Texas Tech University Basketball game . . . .The National Anthem is sung by five young ladies. You have never heard it performed better than this! An entire arena remains completely silent throughout the song. You could hear a pin drop. Take a moment to listen to this…you will not regret it. The two young girls on the right are six years old. The two in the middle are seven and the one on the left is eight. Wow!

    Can you think of a more beautiful song and flag to represent our country? Those five girls sang our national anthem in a most appropriate way, beautiful.

  42. Faye Beck

    Some parents are definitely training their daughters wisely. It takes time to be a good parent and I congratulate all the parents involved who spent the time and money to support their daughters dreams of singing.

    May good things happen as they grow and develop their voices. Blessings on all.

  43. Ron Blessey

    The parents of these young girls should be immensely proud. I had a lump in my throat as I listened to this beutiful rendition. It goes to show you that there is hope for the future of this country if we can wrest it back from the scoialists in DC that are trying to destroy it.
