bhendrix Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 This was at a Texas Tech Basketball game. The National Anthem is sung by five young ladies (corrected report that one is age 8, three are 11 and one is 13). You have never heard it performed better than this! An entire arena remains completely silent throughout the song. Take a moment to listen to this...anyone who has served this country will be extremely proud of these young ladies and their performance.

oldtimer Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Just beautiful. Are they that young? I got the impression from the title that says Cactus JH that they were from a junior high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryC Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Beautiful harmonization and voice-leading (vocal writing to make the harmony sound good and convey the music)! I'm sending it to my music theory teacher for comment. Also extremely well-sung. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Their accents show in their diction, and being from west Texas it would sound a little country especially to a yankee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Maybe I should have added that it is very pleasing to the ear. Last year we had the Peasall sisters at the college where I work. Their family is friends with someone at the college so they came up and performed at an awards ceremony. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
