I’ve always felt this should be our national anthem

natesquared agreed, this song is excellent and is about America, but our current national anthem isn't actually pleasing to listen to and is about how our flag looked after waving on a battlefield, it speaks nothing of the heart of the people and paints us in a bit of a negative light.

Beautiful
We are coming to the 7/22 concert!
This rendition takes what was a great song and adds so much emotion, surprise, and delight.
So beautiful and emotive! 🥰🥰👌
WE ARE GOING TO A CONCERT 5/03/18 WHO ELSE???!
Wonderful to see so much talent amongst the youth. Those here are no doubt the best & a lot of hard work to be in the orchestra. I have subscribed. Beautiful playing
Wow ... Well done.
Very nice
I agree they did pretty well
People say that this should be our national anthem but I don’t think so. Other national anthems talk about how nice or pretty their country is. Our anthem is about the shear integrity we have, that even in the most trying times, our flag, our nation, our people, still stand tall and proud. This is a beautiful song, but I think the Star spangled banner is a perfect representation of what all ‘true’ Americans believe in.
Patriotism at its beautiful state
When you defeated the USSR yet still have this solemn hymn:
Beautifully played. Fun fact. This was not written about the tri-state area. This song is about Colorado, Pikes Peak. I don’t think anyone in the right mind would refer to the mid-Atlantic region as being beautiful. Random trivia.

I played this on Perseverance when he was landing
IMO America the Beautiful would be a better national anthem than the Star Spangled Banner in almost every way

May I use this?
This is the best version I could find so far , however the Family guy version is the winner but I can not find it anywhere . Does anyone know where the Family Guy S9 Ep2 - ( Excellence in Broadcasting ) version can be found ??? This was the Rush Limbaugh episode where he flies away as an eagle to their version of America the Beautiful . I would love to find it , please let me know ...thanks

Sounds like Universal Studios..
So much better than any if the trash that the adults have messed up on thus music/song. I thought to myself when listening to this song: How The Shema was hidden and disguised in this song., "From sea to shining sea". What shape is the shapes of ears? Obviously the shape of a "C" ....
The true national anthem of America
I think this is the music used when you do the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag at your schools.
is there a recording of a band playing this where everyone in the band is over 20? why do only high school bands play this?

The Watermelon Factory this is the national youth orchestra. They range from 16-19 year olds. Each one of those kids are the best student musicians in the usa. Its EXTREAMLY hard to get into.

This rendition is better than a lot of the professional orchestras around the world. Don't dismiss it because of their age. Most of them have probably practiced way above 10 000 hours each.
This is like something out of Saving Private Ryan
gave me more chills than the version recorded for Fallout 3
Now this is why we do what we do. U S Marines!!! Oohrah
The melody was based on the old church hymn, O Mother Dear Jerusalem (Materna) - kzread.info/dash/bejne/eHed2paFdZC-lbw.html

The conductor looks completely bored, actually he is not conducting at all, he is just keeping time. These kids play just awesome and this is such a wonderful arrangement but there is a very strange modulation at 01:18

What is your definition of conducting then? A conductor is supposed to keep a clear beat for the musicians. Every orchestra or choir I’ve conducted required a clean beat in order to perform adequately. Conductors aren’t supposed to be jumping around like Leonard Bernstein.
