Please sign our petition to keep music education in schools: www.thepetitionsite.com The Cactus Cuties rehearse the national anthem as part of their appearance for MENC's "The National Anthem Project." According to a Harris Poll 2/3 of the population DO NOT know the lyrics to "The Star-Spangled Banner." Not knowing the national anthem is a symptom of a larger problem in our school systems, said Dr. John Mahlmann, Executive Director, MENC. Research shows music education at an early age greatly increases the likelihood a child will grow up to seek higher education, earn a higher salary and feel more personally fulfilled. Music education teaches people how to think and work with others - - skills that are the foundation to success in our society today. We know as a result of The National Anthem Project, more teachers are teaching children The Star-Spangled Banner. Thats the good news. The bad news is music teachers have less time and fewer resources to work with our children. Our country and our children will be poorer for it..

rehearsal or not. just the fact of them talking. not standing up during a practice run is one thing, but shit, talking is another. and at least during THIER National Anthem is simply disrespectful and disgracefull, period.

What lovely and talented young ladies who sing our National Anthem the way it should be sung! Great performance! These fine youngsters truly are very special, and as one commentor posted, a true national treasure! God Bless them and God Bless America! Semper Fi!

I don’t think that it was flat but however I do think that she went off just a little bit.

. say your name 10 times
2. say your mom’s name 5 times
3. say your crushes name 3 times
4. paste this to 4 other songs. if you do this, your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday.
but if you read this and do not paste this, then you will have very bad luck
