High school students sing the National Anthem on 18 floors of a hotel

RUNYYFan · 02-08-2014, 05:05 PM

I have no connection with this other than seeing it on Facebook first. A few nights ago, a video showed up on Facebook that was taken by a person named Michelle Johnson. Her comments were as follows:

So, I'm in Kentucky for work and today when we got back, 1000 high school students had checked into our hotel. They had been making quite the ruckus tonight, but then did this to celebrate the start of the Olympics*. Not the best video, (cause my fear kept me pretty far from the edge) but that's 18 levels of them singing! Amazing!

* Yesterday, she followed up with this post:
I can't believe how viral the video has gotten! I do want to say, however, that I stand corrected. The singing was not specifically for the Olympics, but it was nevertheless patriotic and great timing! Thanks everyone for sharing!

The video has now been posted on YouTube:

Gave me goose bumps.

Seems this is actually true (no offense to anyone but it's good to check these things), it's gone viral all over the web and every major news outlet, magazine, site, etc., are all covering it. That being said it should be on CNN in about 2 weeks.

If you haven't seen this, or even if you have, it's so worth watching at least once. Simply amazing video that might just bring a tear to your eye.

Here's the back ground of it, it was a KY Music Educators group and students from choirs all around the area, it's kind of an annual event.

Proud to be an American, and even prouder that I served in the military

"Every night of the All State Choir conference at about 11pm, everyone comes out to the balconies of the 18 story Hyatt hotel to sing the National Anthem," so this is more tradition than Olympic-fueled display of patriotism.

Here's a better video from last years, you see more of the balconies, wow.

Thank you for the added research. To quote a movie line with no disrespect intended: "Impressive. Most impressive."

A lot better than 18 floors of caterwauling teenagers!
