A guest at a Kentucky hotel was in for a surprise Wednesday when he discovered more than 650 high school choir students singing a rendition of the national anthem.
Garrett Mager, who was staying at the Hyatt Regency in Louisville, woke up hearing a lot of commotion in the lobby and decided to investigate, WSB reported.
Mager discovered that all the high school choir students participating in the Kentucky State Choir Finals were staying at the hotel, using their downtime to perform “The Star Spangled Banner.”

How wonderfully beautiful. Awesome group of young people. Gave me goose bumps. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletePeople always belittle that song but it is beautiful. Being from within 5 miles of where Key wrote that song, you really appreciate it. Those people made it even more so.
ReplyDeleteThis is the tempo at which this song should be sung, instead of the hurry-up versions we hear all of the time.
ReplyDeleteIt's also supposed to be reverent, touching and majestic, not a "look at me!" vocal free-for-all; the song of The People, not of a person.
These kids nailed it.
