Kentucky All State Choir - National Anthem - 2017

[@bluefleet1655]

you dont need an amplifier, all you need is a very tall room, a few people who can sing, and permission in that building

[@simbadabs3103]

Bluefleet OC nice are you in the wonderbolts

[@bluefleet1655]

btw, im a dude

[@rhonwynmartin3955]

Bluefleet OC don’t even need permission. Just break in

[@landonvarner2354]

That’s very true I’m in chorus my self and when you get a room that’s big the sound echo’s a lot

[@RollOnToVictory]

This is the national anthem, fuck permission.

[@kentuckywildcat4444]

I was actually a part of this! It was an incredible experience!

[@andythefork]

kentuckywildcat4444 was there a lot of debauchery going on the rest of the time?

[@kentuckywildcat4444]

andythefork Not at all. Everybody just went to their rooms after the performance because there was a curfew.

[@chaliceguard4575]

kentuckywildcat4444 - Heavenly. Wish I could experience in person. Acoustics must be amazing there. And those harmonies...and sopranos...Wow! Are there other KSC choral performances available online?

[@jessygraham6912]

kentuckywildcat4444 so beautiful !!!

[@byazura9824]

Good on you bro

[@oz1077]

United we stand Divided we fall.

[@GuadalupeGuacamole]

YOU’RE GOD DAM RIGHT !!! ❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@fazefan309]

Starting to feel like divided we stand and united we fall

[@electrickabab6196]

Dont freeze

[@Djoodibooti]

Said. The. Conservative. My good friend unity? You don't know her.

[@Micahproductions]

A l l e g e d l y TM, People like you are the reason the country wont be fully united. How about we put aside political differences, and stand united in our country.

[@angiesterling2759]

Beautiful! Its a wonderful tradition. We did this in 1991. So glad to see this still happening.

[@mcmjr405]

Angie Sterling I am too!

[@FeartheCyr611]

gtapolice1000 i can ONLY imagine!

[@disneydanny2]

has it ever been said how the tradition started?

[@gingerdude]

Angie Sterling it sounds so incredible and breathtaking, I am not even american. I am german but somehow I love your anthem

[@steppedtuba50]

everyone loves freedom

[@GumpterCrayon]

some one needs to record this with professional recording gear

[@daytonrd17]

i could not agree with you more. for a building never made to be sang in it seems to have a pretty good sound quality for a open atrium.

[@cwj144]

If it done this year in 2017 or 2018 most definitely and then put it on i tunes for a small price with the money going to charity

[@disneydanny2]

3018 dates are February 7-10

[@cwj144]

Bryn Then. So we agree they need to be recorded professionally. Now come Feb 2018. Someone has to make it happen. I will tweet Hoda and Kathylee

[@cwj144]

I couldn't agree more!!!!

[@DrDigDown]

Love the cameraman. "I'm getting bored of this tripod shot, let's zoom and get some tight…oh shit wait…I have no idea how to pull focus let's just put this back before I ruin this beautiful moment."

[@CMMikeAdamsPFForensics]

Thers is always one in every crowd.

[@jaynobode502]

Ahahah u forgot the part where he pans around after zooming it like he ment to do it and how it was still out of focus when he tried to fix it

[@tamaracooper9205]

Thank YOU for your service!

[@myownruin187]

For what America means to me it's so hard not to get chocked up.. God bless America. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@TheBudgetGunCollector]

[@patienceandtime387]

THEY TOOK THE BAR! THE WHOLE FUCKING BAR!!

[@JimSmith-vz4bq]

Always get teary eyed when I hear our anthem

[@stephenkellar8886]

As a 24 year United States Submarine Veteran, I can tell you that this is MY Favorite Song. One of the most beautiful renditions I have ever heard. Thank you.

[@matt2centerback]

Thank you for your service, Sir!

[@jacobtarver3514]

Stephen Kellar Thankyou very much for your service sir!🇺🇸

[@introspect418]

[@Twinky946]

Stephen Kellar truly inspiring. Always brings a tear to my eye and brings pride to my soul. Thank you for your service

[@alm2922]

So many goosebumps dear goodness..

[@xylos16]

I am a US Army veteran... thank you so much for posting such a beautiful rendition of our National anthem, and to those who sang. Listening to this brings tears to my eyes and fills me with awe of everything this country has worked for. I know the men and women who came before us would surely have been looking down upon this moment and smiling with us. Thank you for this moment.

[@wildcajunthang]

Ty for you bravery 🇺🇸 My Grand Father was WW2 among many others !

[@haileyhitchcock7347]

thank you for your service to our country

[@bfrederick1]

On behalf of my son who sang in this video and a soon to be Eagle Scout you are welcome.

[@itzshft]

Thank You For Your Service! People like you mean so much to me and this country.

[@tamaracooper9205]

Josh Steele, I appreciate your service to our country so much. Thank you, sir!

[@brad349miller]

Tears. America is battered, crawling, broken. But if the flag can remain there is hope for us all. Justice, liberty, unity. Everyone is lost. Caught up in ridiculous nonsense. Stand together! Not apart!

[@mech0p]

America is just fine... All that's going on is a fight that happens between family like a brother and sister... were not broken or falling apart and we definitely aren't crawling...

[@haileyhitchcock7347]

Mech0p no we are not just fine. we are falling apart at the seams. our flag is our hope that itll get better and we will be an amazing country again one day

[@selmalinnea9870]

A flag ain’t gonna save y’all, realistically. A not mentally ill president, new and restricted gun laws and functional structures are

[@demanischaffer]

selma linnea "New and Restricted gun laws" No what we need is stricter laws going after the inner city crimes, most gun crime is done in places with the tightest restrictions, Look at Chicago it has one of the highest firearm murder rates in the US, Illinois has some of the strictest gun laws in the US, those don't prevent a single thing, and I notice you say "Y'all" that interests me because you're separating yourself from the US, implying you either aren't American or don't see every American as one group

[@joeoliver3095]

Hey, Go To Hell... And I have no doubt you will.

[@ferrinleonsons6620]

teenagers: *talking, chattering* several people: *hums note* teenagers: *slowly goes silent and then join in on humming* HIVE MIND

[@Uno_Floydd]

We are all American. Good Hivemind 👍🏽

[@cazador1022]

United We Stand........MERICA!!!!

[@Star-ud4qh]

phillip kunze all of us indeed comrade...

[@karenlester6412]

a new generation of young people who will stand for our national anthem

[@nekaj9031]

Makes me cry...it's so beautiful to hear. It's like angels singing in heaven.

[@smcaskey]

Oh the humanity. There are two things that make me cry, and this is one of them.

[@breharris8080]

I'm proud to live in Kentucky now...

[@MT-tu8qd]

Outstanding

[@joeoliver3095]

You should have been all along. We have our problems, BUT I challenge you to find a better place to live. My Kentucky is My Home, and all yankees that hate our state should leave. Amen.

[@AkiraTheHound]

Those are high schoolers, if you didn't know. sophomores, juniors, and seniors can try out. But, expectedly so, it's extremely tough to make it. You have to sight read a piece and read the syllables. Not to mention, you only have a few minutes to recognize every note, nor can you write it in before you sing it in front of the judges. Then you're judged on rhythm, pitch, dynamic, and correct syllables. This is after you perform the organized piece, which every year I've known it is in another language. You're judged on the same as the sight reading, as well as the pronunciation of the foreign words. I hope to try out my senior year and regret not doing so this year and letting the person go that I did. My classmate is there somewhere though, and she sings absolutely beautifully and her sight reading is almost flawless. I say almost because she got a 9.5 out of 10 possible points on her sight reading. Their voices are so beautiful because they're, no offense to anybody by any means, the top singers in all the state. Hence the name "All-State"

[@bradbertrand1966]

relax

[@alexhuitron181]

Toxxic R4D10 They give you a few minutes?! That's wild, I wish we had that much time; they only give us 30 seconds in Texas.

[@AkiraTheHound]

David Garcia I'm not positive the exact time. I think it's a minute to two minutes but don't quote me

[@donnie7013]

Drumline > Choir Hippity Hoppity get the fuck off my property

[@rtchemp]

for LMEA (louisiana all state choir) we didn't have to sightread at all. We had to record our piece and send them to the judges.

[@PhillipKunze]

God damn that high note at 2:50 and the ending

[@wildgurgs3614]

IKR I ****ING CRIED

[@jaredprovost2002]

That would be the best sopranos available hitting the high notes. Though frankly I'm sure that a large part of the sopranos stay on the lower part, as soprano 2s. That's a hard note to belt.

[@courtney06111997]

As a Soprano 1, it’s honestly hard keeping that note alive while trying not to go flat or sharp and keeping it loud enough to be hear but not too loud. But hitting a note that high isn’t really that hard. Its fun! :)

[@machirim2805]

God Bless America, much love to you from the United Kingdom. 🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@emilyhupp384]

This is currently my favorite video on the internet :) Music is such a beautiful thing

[@eileenbaran7040]

Emily Hupp every year go back its the same hotel ❤❤❤

[@landman7]

Every year I look forward to the KMEA Choir singing our National Anthem. Each year is slightly different, each year brings tears from this 82 year old Army retiree. Please keep up the good work, and God Bless these gifted young students.

[@jamesd9099]

don't ever stop doing this... thank you

[@goranbojic1995]

Beautiful for the ears.. This made me cry :( I hope one day i go to America to see this in front of my eyes, because that's my biggest wish :')

[@pheenix42]

And we here would welcome you.

[@haleyl.248]

Welcome stranger!

[@alonalkalai9505]

You are the kind of person we'd welcome in most wholeheartedly.

[@goranbojic1995]

Thanks each and every one of you for respond! I really appreciate it so much, it's so beautiful to have that kind of people in this world. Proudly to say that my journey to America is about to begin now in March, so i feel blessed to finally get there where i always wanted to go! America in my

[@armydude4life6149]

This is why we live in such a fantastic country... This American soldier blesses you all for putting so much feeling into our National Anthem...

[@stevenmichel9710]

Even though our country is going though a horrid rough patch, this performance gave me hope. Hopefully it did you too. Beautiful

[@WormAteWords]

What horrid rough patch?

[@CedarCritter]

@@WormAteWords Political nonsense from both sides, a rise in public shootings, Communism becoming a thing one way or another. Shit like that.

[@wildgurgs3614]

2:53 I literally cried...This version of our National Anthem is absolutely beautiful!!!

[@redemption5331]

Great acoustics. The Anthem sung straight forward, as it should be.

[@shamuscella9769]

I cried with pride at this beautiful simple rendition of our national anthem

[@jamesshride3158]

All these years and no one has bother to take in a drone camera to record video and some awesome mics for the audio? This is a crime.

[@joebrowning8396]

It will be done this year!

[@markwollander2002]

360 footage please!!

[@drakke125Channel]

I've always wondered how good the audio from a drone is cuz drones tend to be extremely loud and noisy. I heard one in neighborhood and WOW it was loud and obvious. (directly above me)

[@joebrowning8396]

drakke125Channel audio was horrible. Not worth uploading.

[@dinkledan9040]

Drones are loud and noisy

[@ryandiersing1732]

[@CauseIknowshit]

John Knight where in Kentucky is this ?

[@TylerRush]

The Hyatt Regency Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky!

[@bfrederick1]

It is done at 11 pm at the Hyatt for the nights that they are there.

[@brad349miller]

It was on the 7th this month. Did you make it?!?

[@bfrederick1]

Yes, I made it. I have a video on my You tube page.

[@dallasfan106]

Right after 9/11. Super emotional and SO AMAZING

[@joanthakker7583]

I had the privilege of being in the hotel when they were singing this with my CO. We both stood at attention and saluted, he said afterward that this was up there when Whitney Houston sung this during Super Bowl XXV. You were very proud to serve and it gave me a push to serve for 25 yrs in the US Marine Corp as a Major.

[@joeoliver3095]

God Bless the young people who sang this beautiful praise to our beloved country and the men who gave their lives, who died, to give us this beautiful counrty. God Bless Kentucky. And may God Bless The United States of America. Amen

[@chordsforchrist1920]

This is how the national anthem is supposed to sound. Powerful people together singing from their hearts and every single time they hit the high note for free and brave I always get goosebumps it’s so amazing words can not describe the vocals I’ve watched this at least 20 or more times wow incredible...

There’s so much freedom in this video. America. One nation under God.
