    These Kentucky students’ rendition of the National Anthem will leave you with goosebumps

    Guests at a Louisville, Ky., hotel were treated to a special performance this week, as hundreds of students gathered to sing the national anthem — a performance that is sure to leave all who witness it with goosebumps.

    It’s an annual tradition that takes places every year during the Kentucky All State Choir conference. High school students from across the Bluegrass State gather at the Louisville Hyatt, and at 11 p.m. each night, it’s tradition for the singers to gather on the balconies of the 18-story hotel to honor their country.

    According to Kentucky’s WDRB, guests who witnessed the students singing the “Star Spangled Banner” thought they were paying homage to the U.S. Olympics team. But as videos flooded the Internet of the beautiful rendition, it became clear that this was an annual tradition.

    Watch this amazing ritual unfold below.



    hello NFL, NCAA are you listening?

    That was excellent and it should never be sung in a foreign language like America the beautiful was in the Coke ad. It's also good to see younger kids being proud of their country.

    Not to change the subject too much but, I heard Alicia keys rendition and it was fn aweful and disrespectful . She just had to put her ghetto spin into it. Last night I watched the Beatles special. It was pretty entertaining and brought back memories. Then Alicia keys played with john legend the song Let It Be. Legend sounded good but she just had to ghetto it up a bit. I hate that shirt. Just leave perfect alone b---ch
    Ps: Keith Urban was very good and relatively true to john lennons style and the woman from the arithmics sucked.
