Best sing-along version of the Star Spangled Banner?
June 23, 2013 1:50 PM Subscribe
I need to provide a recorded version (audio only) of The Star Spangled Banner for a bunch of patriotic middle-aged to elderly women to sing-along with at the opening ceremonies of a convention. Can anyone point me to a good version that isn't just an instrumental and isn't too showy? Whitney Houston's is probably way beyond the average vocal range for this group.

I *think* the US Military bands are copyright-free for playing in public. This page has links to lots of US Army choruses, and to The US Army Band with chorus singing the National Anthem in a reasonable key.
Someone I knew (and had a huge crush on, which he was seriously charming about) joined the Navy and they had the good sense to put him in the Navy Chorus. sigh nice memory.
