The song that the Bagpipes were playing is called "America". It is another patriotic song, and is very beautiful. You will sometimes see it listed as "America (My Country, 'Tis of Thee)".

PATRIOTS w/ Patriotic Pride. WE do have National parks, National Flag, National Bird & Hebrew National Hot Dogs. I'm one of those them there Yankees! Ancestral Family Migrated Circa 1645 from Scotland & Norway & England! Imagine that!

I don’t remember when but years ago I believe it was a hockey game with USA vs Canada. Again, the mic went out at the beginning of National anthem when suddenly the Canadians chimed in and began singing the anthem along with the Americans! What wonderful people the Canadians are.

The National Anthem is always played before pee-wee or elementary-age sports (ages 5 and above) through the professional leagues. There is never a sporting event in the USA where our National Anthem is played and sung before any athletic activity occurs.

You’re not wrong. I’ve been at two different hockey games when that happened. At one, we were playing a Canadian team and always played both anthems when we played them. Assuming that’s normal. Anyway, it happened during the Canadian anthem and the American crowd kicked in and started singing. It was pretty cool.

I’m an American with goosebumps right now. Thank you for not speaking during the anthem. Very respectful.

There is a great video out there of Usain Bolt stopping an interview he is doing because the National Anthem was playing for a medal ceremony. He just stops and watches and listens and when it is over he continues the interview.

A few years back, the same thing happened when the singers mic died while singing the american national anthem, and the whole stadium, most canadians on canadian terf, finished the anthem. To thank the canadian hockey fans who picked up the song when the mic died, the american fans, during a game in the US, sang the canadian national anthem. Both beautiful moments.

There was a high school game a year or so ago where the school refused to play the National Anthem (because if the Looney Toon crap going on the last few years) so the families in the bleachers stood up and sang it anyway.

I'm a 76 year old woman. Every time I hear the national anthem it makes me cry with pride. We may not do everything right but we try to do our best. There's not another country in the world like this one.

Look up the crowd that sung the national anthem after they were told that there would be no national anthem. We don't play these games.

to be honest it sounds a lot better with the audiance singing it than hearing a solo singer with a microphone do so

Love how the singer’s voice still carried. He went to his maximum volume it seems to lead the crowd. When microphone tried working again he probably fried it with the power of his voice.

A smile to my face and a tear to my eye. We are Americans, and We Are America!

As an American.. The National Anthem has always and will always bring a strong sense of patriotism about. So.. When you see/hear something like this.. Americans banding together to ensure that the anthem is sung to completion regardless of circumstances.. It is beyond words. Especially when you know the story behind the lyrics. The sacrifice of the men that night who gave their lives to ensure that “The flag was still there”. Even though the flag kept taking repeated canon hits throughout the night. The lives given to ensure that the flag stayed up.

I was lining up for a half marathon when the same thing happened. The singer started the anthem, the PA system failed, so 4000 - 5000 runners picked it up and finished the song.

Our national anthem never ceases to make me emotional. ❤

As an American AND a singing teacher, this was great. You could still hear that singer without the mic, which is crazy! Everyone else stayed on key and on rhythm, which is another impressive thing in a room that big. And I love our anthem, but the thing I love most was the quickness and willingness of the crowd to help someone in need. A whole room of people showed their support for a performer who was experiencing technical difficulties. That's real patriotism. Lifting each other up when we are in need. Our country is going through hard things right now, but we can still show basic decency and human kindness.

What I loved the most, was that the National Anthem was song the way it was written. No runs, or change ups, the way a lot of singers put their own spin on our song. A National Anthem is not something to be interpreted.

It's really no different than the soldiers mentality of if this man (carrying the flag) shall fall, it now goes to you to pick it up and move forward. Long story short, the crowd here reacted exactly like it was supposed to. The Patriotism can appear somewhat cult like, but it is very close to the Americans heart as the National Anthem is what defines us as a Nation and as it's People. Good vid...

Thank you, Ryan, for reacting to this video! I am an 80 yo widow, and am fiercely proud of being a citizen of the USA! Yours was a lovely reaction, and you are absolutely right! The soloist handled the mic failure as a professional, carrying on no matter what. I was astounded that it only took two words, and the audience knew what had happened, and chimed right in. Everyone in that stadium had, and still has, a right to be very proud of themselves.

God bless America ❤️🙏

Everyone always sings along! The singer was so good just keeping on!! You NEVER stop this song, you always sing to the end, we Americans stand, put our hand over our hearts and sing. I think it's a prayer to God Almighty to thank HIM, who sustains us through all of the ups and downs in our country. And brings us through the tough times!!

Goose bumps. I got goose bumps. I love our National Anthem.

Francis Scott Key would be looking down and smiling upon them..

A lot of people think we always fight with one another (sometimes). However, we are fiercely protective of our own.

Gives me goosebumps! That first song with bagpipes, is America the Beautiful.

Absolutely loved it, thank you! I'm an American and I cry always singing the National anthem, and yes hand over our hearts!!💓🙏🇺🇸

Thank you!! I’ll add that video to the list. Thanks for the suggestion!

First song was America the Beautiful. Every time the mic drops out, you get this reaction, even our great Canadian friends have done this at hockey games.

I cry every time I hear the National Anthem. I just love it and my country the USA.

This is how true, non-woke, Americans react. We know and appreciate the freedoms and opportunities that we have in this country, and we should never take them for granted. If you live in America and don't like the way things are done here, you have the freedom to leave. Please exercise your freedom. There's a reason that people risk their lives, fortune, and everything they have to make it to the USA.

This doesn’t surprise me as most of the time people are singing along anyway. It surprises me that some other countries don’t sing when their national anthem is played.

These are the moments that make me proud to be an American. No politics, no BS. Just everyone joining together as one. Thank you!

I love when the crowd gets to sing the National Anthem. I find that the crowd, for the most part, sounds better than the singer. There was no conductor guiding the crowd yet, the pauses were all uniform and everyone was on key. This was beautiful. I wish that the singer had stopped trying to get back into it. Once the mic failed and the crowd started, he should have called it a night.

I agree, Ryan, with the singing quality of the fans.

This made me cry considering how torn and broken our country is right now. Now we see people burning our flags and our own people shouting death threats to other Americans. It's good to see in some areas people still love America.

Aww this brought tears to my eyes. Flag stands for freedom and to see everyone sing along with the man , aww what an a awesome! This moment. Thank you for sharing. Our flag means so much !!!🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Oklahoma USA here! We sing with preformers singing the anthem often! Hand over heart sing together!!!

A better rendition than most professionals at an event these days and might be THE best sense it's being sung by the common folks the way it was intended to be..

This happens all the time at different events in the US. Happened at one of robotics competitions this year, always inspirational.

This brought tears to my eyes!!! You should see the fans at a US National Soccer game! Such passion and love!

I've seen several videos like this and I am always moved to tears. The honor, the national pride and patriotism always amazes me. 👍

Well dang it. First video of the morning and the whole thing had me in tears. I don’t know why, but the bagpipes always do that to me and especially the song they were playing. And again when the crowd started singing. But, they were tears of joy. Not a bad way to start the day. Btw, the last time I heard a live bagpipe was at a funeral. I totally lost it!

Its better than with the mic FOR SURE. You can usually find a Really cool video of a national choir competition. They always stay in the same hotel and it's a tower. And in the middle of it it's just a big open area and all the rooms have walkways that look over this common area. And it's like 5 stories tall. Every year every team walks out of their rooms and sings the national anthem into that common area. So you have like 20 competitive teams at the national level all singing this at once in a big echo chamber. It's unbelievable one of the greatest videos I've ever seen and they do it every single year.

And yet another winner! Wanted to leave a comment and help feed the algorithm beast, thank you for the video and commentary, everyone have a happy and safe weekend

We sing it at all sporting events, so we know it by heart :-)

AMERICANS STANDING TOGETHER AND SING OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM 🇺🇸 🇺🇲

A bagpipe rendition of "America the Beautiful" is not something you hear every day. But we all know the national anthem. (At least _some_ of the words....) As someone else pointed out, the audience probably would have been singing along even if the mic had been on. We're a singing bunch.

Thank you for sharing this it makes me feel so much pride for my country!❤❤

For me, the anthem represents the intestinal fortitude and never give up attitude of the American people. Francis Scott Key, on realizing it was the heroism of so many Patriots to keep the flag flying over Fort McHenry in Baltimore harbor, wrote these words so all could know their ultimate sacrifice. Not many realize, but the fall of Baltimore could have ended the American experiment. Baltimore was The Crossroads for all US trade at the time. The Baltimore and Ohio brought all goods from the emerging western settlements, cotton from the south moved through Baltimore on the way to mills in the north, and industrial machinery from the north passed through Baltimore. Only 35 miles from DC, Baltimore would have given the British a great foothold to attack Washington. This was 1812, the last time any foreign nation attempted war on our soil. Now, it's no longer possible for anyone, or everyone, to attack our shores. And the rest, is history!

For me, it's the 4/17/13 rendition at the start of the Bruins game. This was the first major sports event held in Boston and the day of the West, TX explosion. Both events hit me hard. The Marathon is just a part of my life. Also, I have deep family roots in that part of Texas and had family that responded to the aftermath. Proud to be an American and a Bostonian.

I always get emotional when I hear our anthem, especially when I see a large group of my fellow Americans doing it...used to be a common thing only thirty years ago...

As an American, I'm proud of my fellow countrymen....but not surprised! It is similar to watching our flag fall and someone rushing to catch it and put it back!

I'm shocked that you can still hear the celebrity singer throughout the National Anthem. 🇺🇸

The song the bagpipers were playing was about America too, called America the Beautiful!

On Friday night high school football games the crowd always sing when a school band plays it.

The song without the pipers is our National Anthem…they did a bang up job, didn’t they? Well done!

The Star Spangled Banner is The People's song of unity. We love OUR country no matter what is going on politically. This video made me tear up and I sang along, too!

THIS IS WHY I LOVE AMERICA!!!

If you know the story behind the song, you can’t help but think of what they did to keep the flag standing & flying high!!! It’s an amazing story that is just part of the fabric of our history that we still love to this day & knowing the sacrifices that took place then & since for our freedom.

gave me chills. love it.

I am American. That gave me chills.

God bless America 🇺🇸
