Nope - My chorus is just your everyday variety of middle school kids.

Yes it's true that some some places do go out and get these kids to sing various renditions of the Star Spangled Banner. Our MS and HS kids have successfully sung at professional basketball games numerous times.

My personal favorites are the local high school kids that perform; even if they end up changing keys.

Maybe the NFL (and broadcasting network) should hold some sort of competition every year to choose a high school chorus local to the Superbowl location for the anthem.

I just wonder, because they always seem to bring someone in who wants to make it their own.

I remember when my group was practicing to sing it for my graduation from basic training, our instructor had four words for us.

"Don't #*@& it up."
