Very nice presentation and a great rendition of our national anthem! Plus, for the courtesy of you and others who view this, in case you are unsure of or have forgotten Francis Scott Key's words, they are below if you want to read them while listening or sing along as you stand with your hand over your heart. The anthem begins at the 3:45 mark. 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 rockets' 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?

What song was playing as they were signing off before the Star-Spangled Banner, I've been looking for this song for years that has been playing in the background

3:09 IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE A POOR MAN VERSION OF RAINBOW ROAD FROM MARIO KART?!?

[@jareddicarlo7816]

Lol they stole most of the footage from the Sierra Club SSB film.

[@colleendefabbio7736]

I kind of agree with with yea, but it’s likely stock footage as some other stations do use this footage as their own sign-offs as well.

[@mharris5047]

I know I am late here but back in the 70's and 80's there were several organizations that filmed SSB sequences and donated them to whatever TV stations wanted to use them.
