This video was sent to me by the President of the American Belgian Association, a local club I joined in Antwerp made up of Americans who are living in Belgium. Charles is a retired American Army Officer who went to Belgium as as part of an American NATO contingent, and ended up falling in love with the place and staying there. He's always happy to find stuff related to his home country. He forwarded this to the club members, all of whom (except for me and one other) still live in Belgium.
Charles didn't say where he found this video. It is a video of the Star Spangled Banner, sung by five young ladies, reportedly at a Texas-Tech basketball game. The explanatory notes said the entire stadium was totally silent, you could hear a pin drop. The two girls on the right are six years old, the two in the middle are seven, and the one on the left is eight. You can tell they are from Texas. Pretty good, huh?
Make sure your sound is turned on, then click on the play button on the player control panel.

Wow. Just wow. That's crazy awesome! They sing better than I could ever do!
Wow.
Wow! They sing like they're 18 and have been musicians since they were born! They don't even have squeaky childish voices! Are they really all 6, 7, and 8? That's unbelievable!
Wow. I had to watch it twice...and will watch it again, I know. Incredible. Chills. Thanks for sharing!!!!
Dignity and talent...many times missing in the singing of the National Anthem.....shown to us in a wonderful way by these young girls.
ok..so I had to see if there were other videos of these girls singing, so I went to youtube. This group is called the Cactus Cuties and this rendition was done in 2004. They are amazing, and I was able to watch some of their other performances, too. Good stuff!
Most excellent indeed.
