Why oh why isn't this our national anthem? Musically and lyrically it is so vastly superior to The Star Spangled Banner, it boggles my mind.
The Star Spangled Banner tells of the colonists refusing to surrender to a Flotilla of over 300 British war ships. America the Beautiful tells us that we have purple mountains. Tough call..
@@andrewkoledin6951 I would rather have an anthem that isn't purely based around violence. Also, Star Spangled Banner is completely secular. In America The Beautiful we ask for God's blessing.
@@andrewkoledin6951 So, let's ignore the third stanza where the author sums up America's struggles (O, Beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife, and more than self their country love and mercy more than life!)...
The Star Spangled Banner is the only anthem in the world that asks a question. Are we still there? And the answer everyday is a defiant YES
@@rightinthedome9973 Granted, your point is solid but to me, as one who has sung it for decades and three years as first with the Third Armored Division back in the day, musically, this is one of the weakest of all national anthems.
This arrangement is just incredible! This band plays flawlessly! You can feel the emotion through this performance.
Outstanding!!
What a treat. Expertly executed. Semper Fidelis, ladies and gentlemen.
Makes me cry
Touching reminder of history; toil and glory in the end. Bravo.
God bless America.
This is absolutely gorgeous.. love so much .. great sounds
Why are the women wearing tablecloths?
All will work out in USAmerica the Beautiful up to y3k; for only our Father baruch Hashem in Christ ou Lord, knows the day and hour now, and more importantly, after y3k/6760. Wonderful Marine Band music. Many Merry Christmas blessings. Shabbat Shalom. Psalms 37 & 19. Amen God's h2o Ministries אמנ.
The sound is extremely warm but powerful
Thank ALL you very Brave Men & Women for Your Service to OUR Country. };-)>
One day, hopefully, this will be the official US National Anthem. 100% American Patriot here, but geez, the Star Spangled Banner is a *terrible* song. This song - in particular, this arrangement - is a much better example of what we can do as a country.
Are you stupid? Or you just ignorant? Hopefully it isn't both, go learn about our national anthem will ya.
WOW
Good Morning Blessings We Love you America Thank You
I play oboe, and this is probably my favorite song to play on it. Thank you Carmen Dragon!
