I did a varsity game at a parochial school where the national anthem was sung by the starting five players (and they were NOT named the Jacksons), they did a nice job.

P.S. This team could have used the 10 points, and 30 more, to make the game competitive. It was evident that they spent more time practicing their singing than playing basketball.
