Guaranteed goosebumps. Listen to this melodious and beautiful rendition, almost haunting, of the national anthem “Star Spangled Banner” performed by the Kentucky All-State Choir at the Hyatt Regency in Louisville, Kentucky.

Every night of the All-State Choir conference, at around 11 p.m., everyone gathers on the balconies of the 18-story Hyatt hotel to sing the National Anthem. Viewers are flooding in with lovely comments on the video; “I adore the Kentucky All-State Choir’s annual tradition.” This is the proper way to sing the Star Spangled Banner!”

“When done RIGHT (as in this case), the United States anthem is the most beautiful in the world.” And this choir excels at it year after year. God bless you.” “Many thanks!” This gives me hope and pride that some of our country’s young people believe in and are proud to sing our national anthem. It’s absolutely stunning, and I can’t thank you enough.”
