These young voices are literally STUNNING! What an amazing performance of the Star Spangled Banner by such young talent (Baylee Barrett, Blaire Elbert, Andi Kitten, Madeline Powell, and ???). It is amazing what can be accomplished at such a young age when people are properly motivated, disciplined, and coached. Play this one for your choir classes everywhere!
