I love this annual tradition of the Kentucky All-State Choir. This is how the Star Spangled Banner should be sung!

That, it should!! Brought a tear to this old retired Marine's eye.

It will never get old, this is going to be a youtube tradition I hope one day they get to do this for the super bowl

We started this during Desert Storm my Jr year in 1991. It is a sight and sound to behold! I'm so glad it is a yearly tradition!

I am a immigrant from South Africa. I became a American citizen and fought for the united states in Iraq. Now the angels in heaven are singing the star spangled banner. Thank you usa for letting me become a member of your family. I owe you a debt of gratitude a thousand lifetimes couldn't repay

they had it last year as well. I think 2021 (when they did a virtual conference) was the only year since the tradition began that they didn't sing it.

It was always a dream of mine to one day sing the national anthem like this, and this year that dream came true. (I was in TTBB for those that may be curious).

One of my favorite parts of this rendition every year is the drop at 2:03 on "wave". It always sounds so good and so seamless.

bro that wave hit me like a shockwave and made me burst into tears

I’m a prior service infantry Marine, now an Infantry Soldier in the US Army on recruiting duty. This traditions truly brings half a tear to me eye. I am so proud of what this country means and this annual tradition is a seemingly small kind gesture that in actuality is a biblical blessing to my soul. God bless America

Every year I watch the latest video, and it never ceases to make me tear up. Exceptional as always.

Thank you! This gives me hope and pride that some of the young people in this country believe and are proud to sing our national anthem. It's beautiful and I can't thank you enough.

One of the best experiences of my life, I sang beside such talented people and I was so lucky to go with my friends. Being in SATB was magical

When done RIGHT (like this) the US anthem is the most beautiful in the world. And this choir does it brilliantly year after year. God bless y’all.🦅🇺🇸

It should be a crime for your dreadful popstars to butcher this anthem, a choir sounds a million times better.

Yess!!! They’re back!! 🔥🔥 my favorite part of the year

I love our National Anthem. To me it speaks of resilience and persistence and strength to continue on through the difficult times.

Oh how I missed these, and yes I have checked every year :) This made me so happy! - I got goose bumps as I do every time I watch these.

After watching Chris Stapleton sing the anthem at the Super Bowl, it reminded me of these - and even though I’ve watched these every year they’ve been posted, I still get moved beyond words. So, so, so awesome! 🇺🇸

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!🔥🔥🔥🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯💯💯

It sounds exactly as beautiful as it should!

A yearly tradition to see the new anthem video, a tradition I hope never ends!

If any of you in the choir see this know I look forward to this every year ❤ outstanding job to all of you in the Kentucky state choir 👏👏👏👏

Its so nice they are allowed to do this. The acoustis are great

"Meaning is when everything there is comes together in an ecstatic dance of single purpose-the glorification of a reality so that no matter how good it has suddenly become, it can get better and better and better more and more deeply forever into the future. Meaning happens when that dance has become so intense that all the horrors of the past, all the terrible struggle engaged in by all of life and all of humanity to that moment becomes a necessary and worthwhile part of the increasingly successful attempt to build something truly Mighty and Good."

I loved being there for the national anthem! It was awesome in person. I was lucky to be able to sing in the kmea all state choir that year and got to experience such a exciting experience!

All major sports !!!! Take heed !! this is how it's done! Thank you All state Choir.

*Cries in American*

I look forward to this video this EVERY year. It's so breathtaking.

Good show ! 🙏

I have waited 3 years to hear this again. 🥲

🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹Amen and Amen 🙏🏼 🙏🏼🙏🏼

glad to see people come together to sing our national anthem 🇺🇸 America as it gets🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thanks so much, Ben, for sharing this each year. One of these years, I hope to be there in person. If I make it there, I'll be the old man weeping throughout the performance.

I have an repeating calendar entry to remind me of the conference an @Ben's yearly videos - thank you!

I sung in this lol

So beautiful to hear! Song makes me emotional every time!

I wish they were the ones performing The National anthem at yesterday's super bowl.

Thank you for singing.

I look forward to this video every year. I always tell myself I’m going to fly out to Kentucky to see it live

I need this! God bless y’all!

Next year taking a flight up there from fort lauderdale just for thid dont care it costs me!!!

Absolutely beautiful.

I just melted. That was unbelievable. Thank you.

thank you for uploading it again ben

This is what Americans fought for, this is what Americans felt fighting, this is America; For better or for worse. I’ll fight for the better

from a texas all stater, you guys and colorado are the only two choirs that i think do justice to the “all state” title, besides us of course 😏

I promise on day I will come to see this in person.

Absolutely Beautiful!!

Thank you for posting this. It was absolutely stunning 😢

I love this so much

It sounds so good!

BRAVO! Beautiful!!!

The F6 on 'Free' sounded incredible.

I wait for this video every year!

I'm so glad this is a yearly thing

I'm trying all-state this year, and even though I don't live there, i'm excited to see what will happen this year in 2024!

WOOOOOW💖💖💖💖

Simply the best singing of any song ever.

Makes me cry... Every time

As every year : thanks very much for this : )

Our Country doesn't always get it right, but we never give up.

Was in All State Choir decades ago. Wish we would have done this. Many do now, from what I've seen.

Beautiful...on this 4th of July

Anybody going up in the elevator must have thought they were going up into Patriot Heaven!!!!

Goosebumbs 😊

Here I am! Back for more

IMPRESSIVE!!

I've been recently commissioned a KY Colonel. Regardless to all reasons behind such prestigious recognition to me as a foreigner, I'm longing to assist at this traditional event - at least once in my lifetime. Thus, I believe that the basement of a good future is made from the past events brick-by-brick - for freedom and justice for all.

As an old soldier I get all chocked up when I watch this video and hear the amazing voices during their rendition of the Star Spangled Banner!! GOD BLESS THEM AND AMERICA!!

beautifully filmed 👌🏻

Get them to the Super Bowl!!

WHO HIT THAT HIGH NOTE ON FREE I NEED TO KNOW

Just cried a little

That hotel looks like the Hilton in Lexington, KY

Between this, Whitney Houston and Chris Stapleton I don’t think it can be done better.

Best of the best . With love in Moscow

I almost feel like an american patriot watching this despite being from the other side of the planet

O say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave

W the States....I miss them

I have a suggestion for the hotel. Attach an American flag to the outside of each elevator, and raise them either before or during the anthem.

I was thinking just about the same thing. But just on the center one and send it up just as they sing “yet wave” and hold the elevator at the top until done singing.

If this ain’t what is waiting for me at the gates of heaven, they can send me back down

At 2:19 is that a soprano hitting the super high note on the very tail end of "free", or is that just an overtone? I know other years it sounds like the girls are trying to have a contest to see who can top the others, but it doesn't really sound that way this year except for that one sound.
