I was there!!! That was my daughter's Senior year of high school and her last year of All State Choir. My husband and I were filming in the lobby and she was on the first level! I did the same thing in 1992 when I was in All State Choir. It's a long-standing Kentucky tradition. We used to go out on the balcony and sing every night that we were there. Hearing it live is an experience like none other!
They did it so beautifully, thank you!
I was there in 2009-2010
What a wonderful tradition. So glad these young people understand how important it is.
What city is this in? It would be great to be there in person to hear this! Such a beautiful and reverent rendition! I've watched the video's for all the years and the 2019 version is the best!

For me, the "Star Spangled Banner" is a call to the best that mankind has to offer.
What a comment🤙🏼 well said
If I could sing simply the best
I am an old American and that brought a tear of pride.
Me too!
Gave me goosebumps! Beautiful!
More than one.
Me too.
Mixed with some sadness over our general state as a nation of late.
@@joeladams2540walk the path, keep good faith, Old Glory will never touch the ground so long as you and I live.
Americans never tire of singing the National Anthem. You won’t see anyone roll their eyes or huff and puff when it comes on. You sing it proudly.
This made me cry! I feel like our banner is at half mast right now and falling. We've got to pick it back up and hold it high.
Which is exactly why our flag was still there. Brave patriots holding it up so it didnt fall. God Bless America.
Our flag should be flown upside down......per flag Etiquette. We are a nation in distress.
We'll be OK. Been through worse.
@@64MDW Ummmmmm.......This current reality is nothing that any of us have ever experienced.
our flag is in distress
Nothing bring tears to the eyes of an American, like our national anthem.
I agree
It brings tears to my eyes also, that because we and our nation love our national anthem
Those are high school kids from across the State of Kentucky at the State choral competition. This is a long standing tradition. My absolute favorite rendition of the National Anthem.
100% best I've ever heard it. The acoustics are magnificent there.
Bunch of racist southern white kids . Meh
It's not a competition.
Well, that turned me into a big old weepy mess. Such beautiful and pure voices. Thank you for showing this.
My pleasure
I'm with you Janetta! The National Anthem has always made me cry. But ever since I found out the meaning behind the lyrics, now it's just ugly crying. LOL
So many young People today, don't appreciate the True meaning of National Anthems. They don't realized what is embodied in these songs. We live in a world of Entitlement, the Focus is ME. They don't fully understand, that if it wasn't for the Sacrifice of other, they would not have the Freedoms they have today. The Anthem of the UK is one of my Favorites also. Thanks you for doing the Videos.
What you just said is why so many people are offended deeply by those who kneel in protest. They don’t have a clue.....
Two of my children are among those "Young People". It completely breaks my heart. I'm hoping they'll grow up and some day appreciate what we have in this wonderful country.
Why people are bothered by kneeling not in protest. But merely because they hate the United States.
@@marciastarr7393 I’m apart of the young generation and honestly, this country isn’t “wonderful” but it’s good. We have a lot that needs to be fixed. I’m not patriotic at all and I don’t LOVE this country, but I am thankful for our veterans. I have one year til I’m off to college and I will be moving out of the US.
@@melmelyn3877 You need to go read about Scott Francis Key was taken board as prisoner by British military invading U. S. Baltimore Maryland Shore near Fort Henry Those Americans defended U. S. Border against the British military invading U. S. A. It also in the HYMS Gospel Music books in America Baptist church in 1770 to 1800 to 1900. About American people defending America U. S. A. Border against dictator invaders stealing american people's land . That why American people went to War against the dictator Evil forcings Like China and IRAN IRAQI ISIS Muslim and North Korea and Germany's Dictator Hitler's NAZIS Socialist Party and Japan and Vietnam in world war 1 to 2 ,we american people have been defended Overseas countries people who were dying from dictator of their own countries . as well as defended our own U. S. A. Borders against any countries that have wanted to forcefully illegally take over America as well as killing innocent black and white american people off Our American people's lands ! Read your U. S. A. History and World history also !
That was a beautiful rendition of our Anthem. The Kentucky State Choir sang it as it should be sung, reverently and with love.
Beautiful. Thank you so much.
I'm 62 years old and I always shed tears for those who went before us.
I sing. I always sing.
I'm not American but just like him ,I also like American National anthem
It has a real backstory about it, you should see the video that tells the story of the star spangled banner not seen before.
Too bad most Americans can’t learn to love or respect it
@@rosegroshek1218 most Americans *do* love and respect it. The loud outliers unfortunately are the ones that have currently seized power.
Thank you, as an american this means a lot right now
@@emanymton713 Can I ask who you are referring to when you say loud outliers?
I am an American and proud of it! I learned the meaning behind our national anthem years ago and I am a person who sings the national anthem and I also place my hand over my heart. God Bless America! I am also proud of Scottish heritage. My grandfather (Malone) came from Scotland and became a citizen of America
If the Liberals have anything to say they will do away with that because Americans like it and proud of it
Have you seen the second stanza of that poem the song's based on? It's no bueno. Francis Scott Key talks about slavery and other things in a positive light. Definitely a good thing only the first stanza was used.
@@jackielinde7568 ^ Incorrect
@@AndrewKendall71 Dude, go read the full poem. I shit you not that it's an utter shit show.
Im an American. And VERY proud of my country. Im 57 years old. Learned the meaning of the national anthem in grade school...many, many years ago. I still get chills and tear up EVERY time i hear it...❤❤❤
Me too. By the second line I get chills. Tears come every time no matter where I hear it
I’m 20 and we had an all American play (basically some song for every military branch and some history) in grade school but I don’t remember every learning the real meaning behind it. Even my family who act overly patriotic I don’t think know, they just say “because we’re America and we are the best” or something along those lines. I literally just learned why yesterday and I appreciate it a lot more
@@angelastanley9893 aw bless your heart. Things have changed so much in the way kids are taught these days. Im so old that all the way through school, we had devotion, prayer and the pledge of allegiance every day over the school intercom. Folks act like all the above is a big no-no these days. We were taught WHY we should be proud to live in america. We arent a perfect nation but we are about as perfect to having freedom as any nation can be. Thank you for replying to my statement. Its nice to know that someone so young is learning why we are very lucky here. Take care hun.
@@tammylester1387 it seems like today the school curriculum is scared to show the darker side of America. Like in my US History class in high school we spent more time learning what a flapper is over the battles and the strategies. My teacher told us that he just shows us what the school tells him to and that if we want to learn more we’d have to do it on our own time.
We only did the pledge of allegiance in elementary school but after that it was only like once a week or on holidays that we had in school. I like learning about the darker side, like I get it not fun to talk about but to understand the future we have to learn about the past, I’m a strong believer in that. History does repeat itself and nothing will change if we don’t change how we think. When I have kids, I have a whole playlist on here that are educational in a lot of different things because I know the school will only teach them so much
@@angelastanley9893 so true. Folks need to hear all about the bad things that happened in the making of the world we have now. Its not doing the kids a lick of justice not teaching them about what has shaped america...the good and the bad. I heard that they even gloss over the Holocaust. It just does a disservice to our ancestors that lived through all the wars...the horrible things done to the indians that were here before us...the child labor that went on...slavery. It is our past. If kids arent taught our past mistakes, how will they know to try and nit repeat it in the future. I guess that i was blessed to have grown up in the time that i did. I live in Mississippi. I remember the first black in my school. I remember his name and just what a sweetheart he was. I know he had a hard time in 1969 being the only black kid at my school but that one young man made such an impression on my by how he carried himself that i still remember him. Oh well...im rambling. I guess im wishing for simpler times. You are still young. Keep learning. Keep sharing what you learn. Never stop growing as a person.
Imagine if Francis Scott Key could see the technological advance that emerged from that smoke filled sky.
This is a yearly tradition for the state choir. Several of our kids from the local high school get selected every year and were a part of this video.
It is amazing
You have to be proud. It is beautiful.
As a Kentuckian, they made us all proud.
I was there in the video I was apart of the All State Symphonic band. We are all high schoolers from all over Kentucky and come together to have a giant concert with the most talented high schoolers. It’s a very magical experience to have and when I went I didn’t want to go back home.
My fellow Americans, stand tall, the world is watching and praying for you.🇺🇸
You said Appalachian perfectly! Thank you for your appreciation of our National Anthem.
Thank you very much. It's my pleasure
My daughter had a field trip went to the Appalachian fort. The teachers told the students that it is pronounced (apple at cha)
@@leishahenry5053 no one is throwing an apple at cha.
The Scotsman said it right.
This was truly sung like an anthem. Beautiful. ❤️🇺🇸❤️ 🥲
This hotel by accident or not has the best accustics, this has been going on years before this performance
God bless you Kentucky! And God bless America!
Thank you!
How touching that a Scotsman has such an appreciation for the anthem. This rendition brought me to tears.
Thanks for sharing this brother! This song always makes me proud ✊🏾💯 American by birth. Tongan by blood. And patriot by choice. 🇺🇸 God bless you my friend.
Your Tongan brother from the US 🇺🇸🇹🇴
We stand together!
Hello brother!
Tongans are BADASS. Respect from St. Louis.
I live at the southern end of the Appalachian mountains in northeastern Georgia. I have Scottish, Irish and English DNA.
The Irish DNA is especially good at spreading itself around.
Most Americans do
I'm 14 generations dating back to the founding of Jamestown
Welcome to the clan pal 🏴✌
Yes, you are literally all immigrants
not an american but that was emotional i almost choked up
I know this comment is just about the anthem, but thank you. As an american rn, this means a lot with everything going on. I hope your having a lovely day
Sung like a hymn! Stunning! 🇺🇸
This is how the Star Spangled Banner was meant to be performed.
The inspiration for the song was nothing less than divine Providence--that's why it gets into your soul and I'm not sure there's another nation in the history of the world that could make that claim
The video "The National Anthem as You've Never Heard It Before" tells the story of how and why Francis Scott Keys wrote the anthem. It's a beautiful rendition and I'm positive you would enjoy it. Thank you for all the positivity, goodness knows we all need it!
That video is FILLED with inaccuracies. Namely that the national anthem was written during the war of 1812, not the revolutionary war.
@@matthewsoules7193 yeah some things are said by mistake or taken the wrong way in that video but it's mainly accurate if you think of the main part of the story. It's a video that needs to be going around especially in our schools to teach our young children the importance and meaning of the national anthem!! It is still good regardless and makes you feel patriotic!!
@@matthewsoules7193 The Story NEVER SAID it was written during the Revolutionary War. MAYBE you should learn to LISTEN... It was ABSOLUTELY the truth of the creation, though it didn't become the "National Anthem" for decades...
@Mike H The video never specifically said it was written during the Revolutionary War, but the video did say we were colonies during the war, which we were not. By 1812, we were states. So by the video saying colonies and not states, that implies that they think it was written during the Revolutionary War. Perhaps it was just a mistake or it could be because the War of 1812 is often called the 2nd Revolutionary War
@@icyhnbryce3914 It could ALSO be because we were still CONSIDERED the British Colonies (even by ourselves) at the time. The difference being that we had gained our independence, but our (not too long before) roots, was..... YOU GUESSED IT..
You claim it's "LOADED" win inaccuracies, and if your need to play wordy word is the best you can do, then you MIGHT want to try to stop DECEIVING people.
This is a HUGE PROBLEM TODAY!! People trying to DESTROY OUR HISTORY, and MISQUOTING, or trying to justify "accuracy" based on not understanding the MEANINGS of history, is why our country is GOING TO HELL IN A HAND BASKET....
Are we REALLY going to jump in a hand basket and go to hell? NO STUPID, it's a representation, LIKE how COLONIES were used in this story!!
When you believe statements can't go beyond the dry wording, YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND *_MEANING_* !!
They sang at the 18 story Hyatt Regency every night at 11pm during choir competition.
I was part of this performance in all state choir. It was amazing and I loved it. We are taught and trained to sing the national anthem. I am from Kentucky.
Thank you so much to reacting to this! I performed this live in this same building for all 4 years of high school and they did it for 3-4 nights every night during the Allstate season. It’s so much more beautiful in person! ❤️❤️
My pleasure. It was brilliant
Thank you for all the kind words and for this video.
My ancestors came from Scotland ... I also love "SCOTLAND THE BRAVE!" ... I also get chills whenever I hear that one! 👍
It’s an amazing experience to hear in person. It is a yearly tradition and I was part of it in 2002. These are high school kids. The Kentucky Allstate Choir is made up of high school kids all over the state chosen to be a part of the choir and perform together. And this happens every year.
As an American of several past generations of Polish and Italian ancestry, may I say thank you for showing so much emotion for our National Anthem. Believe me, that rendition brought an old man to tears.
I was there that night. My wife and I are both US Navy veterans, our son is active duty Navy and was deployed to the 5th fleet this day. Our daughter was only 16 at the time and was singing with her High School choir about 3 floors below us. All my wife and I could do was square our selves up and salute with tears running down our faces.
Wow. Absolutely brilliant
Hugs to you all! God bless you! 🙏🏼❤️🇺🇸
I was born in Kentucky and this just makes me weep at the beauty of it.😊🐝❤
I'm 64 years old and I have always gotten tears in my eyes when I hear the National Anthem.
also it is not just members of the choir, it is also residents of the hotel.. they all come to the balcony at 11pm to sing our national anthem
Sounding great , sung like it should be ! Go Kentucky !
I’m incredibly honored that you reacted to this video. I was able to be apart of it that year and it is neat to see others watching us sing our anthem. It’s my favorite part of Allstate, and I’m glad that others enjoy it just as much as I do.
The most beautiful version ive ever heard, brought this man to tears
You guys did it beautifully!
Thank you so much for this. Y’all did a great job!!🐝🤗❤️
You are an honorable man. Thank you so much for posting. Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you very much
As an American... This made me cry like a baby. How incredibly BEAUTIFUL!!!
Me too!
That almost sounds like an angel choir! Beautiful! Thank you!
I'm Kentucky born and raised loved seeing this!
EPIC! Was from the Kentucky Derby week. Awesomeness.
This sends chills all through my body!! Nothing more beautiful to my patriotic heart than to hear this!! ❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I was in this Choir. It is a tradition. I was there is 2002. This is in the Hyatt Regency hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. It is amazing.
I am from KY and I was in Choir all through High School and this is absolutely beautiful 💜
Pride and tears!🇺🇸
I’ve watched this very rendition on numerous CZcams channels and it brings me to tears every darn time. I’m a Kentuckian and have lived in the Louisville area all my 58 years of life. The location is the Hyatt Regency in Downtown Louisville Kentucky. It is a yearly tradition (or was) during the Choral High School Competitions that this hotel host the competitions simply because of the acoustics. This is how the USofA National Anthem should always be sung, passionately, harmoniously and with proudness of being an American. God Bless the USofA and her people. 🇺🇸✝️🙏🏻💙🇺🇸
The Star Spangled Banner and The Battle Hymn of the Republic have more verses than we usually sing. I hope you get a chance to see those lyrics and hear them sung.
Hyatt Regency in Louisville,Ky! Going to repost in honor of the derby!
Oh, my. I don't think I've ever heard it sound so beautiful.
I'm from Kentucky and this was amazing to watch. I wish I could have been there when they were singing. it most of sounded awe-inspiring in person! loved the video keep up the good work and God Bless.
Loved that you were singing along! Welcome to being an American! America is not just the land, it's the spirit of the people.
Believe it or not, these are actually high school students. All State is an honor choir that each state puts together every year by picking teens from every school in the state who audition. I got to experience it growing up. It was amazing. The highlight of my high school career. 💕
They had to sing the song slower than normal because of the acoustics. It is the Hyatt Regency in downtown Louisville. I am about 5 miles from there right now.
So I was there for this in 2012. Its at the Hyatt in Louisville KY. They rented out the whole place for us for for like 4 days and we did this every night before we went to bed. It was pretty cool.
I'm a proud American! I placed my hand over my heart when I listened ti that moving performance. I love my Anthem and I think of all who have selflessly fought for freedom and ther example of bravery it takes when evil is always out to destroy the freedoms of men! 🇺🇸❤🇺🇸 God Bless America and every one who fights tyranny for freedom!
I've watched this rendition many times and it still give me full chills when I hear it. This is the way the National Anthem should always be treated; with beauty and respect! So glad you liked it so much!
It was Stunning. Thank you
It's a multi-state gathering of choirs to compete. This hotel gives them a price deal because they book the rooms years in advance. They do this every year. As the students graduate and move on it's a whole new crop of singers of course.
Thank you for your respect and appreciation of our country's founding and goals. Still not perfect, but we're still working at it.
I look for it every year on CZcams. BEST rendition of our fantastic anthem 🎇🇺🇸❤
I love our National Anthem and I wouldn't change a note of it but it is one of the most difficult songs to sing EVER because it has extremely high notes and extremely low notes and not many people have the range required to sing both. Most people sing what they can and then they fade out or start singing harmony when it gets so low or so high they can't reach the notes. Someone in this choir not only hit the high note in "land of the FREE" but they took FREE up even more. Beautiful job. Thank you for your reaction to this. I am an OLD woman but I think I tear up pretty much every time I hear this wonderful song.
Sobbing. If that doesn't move you I don't know what will. Amazing. God Bless my home, God Bless America 🇺🇸
Thank you for your respect for our National Anthem
CHEERS
as a Marylander i take even more pride in our anthem.
When the sopranos hit that A sharp is amazing.
Amazing isn't? The video never fails to give me chills and tears. This is how the America national should be song. My ancestors are Celtic and I truly appreciate your support for our anthem. Cheers to you my friend.
This is my home state!!🇺🇸❤️
I’m born and raised in this beautiful country, but majority of my blood is Scottish! God willing I will visit one day, and learn the history of exactly where in Scotland my ancestors came from!!
You will love Scotland. Beautiful place
Strong ties between Appalachia and our Scots & Irish roots. 😏
That was the BEST rendition of our national anthem I've ever heard!!
Proud to be an American! Hello from Florida.
It was absolutely 👏INCREDIBLE👏 being there. I was there during the performance. I get chills every time i listen to any song about the USA, probably do to the fact that i have family that served and i myself have also done indirect work for the US military.
Kentucky All State Choir is a high school choir. The students compete to get in to the all state choir. There is an All State choir for every state in the US. There is also All Region and National choir. I competed every year for the junior and senior high school years. I made Arkansas All State once. it was fun.
I performed 2 years in the Kentucky All State Choir. It was a great time and I was so surprised when I was selected because I had switched from orchestra to choir.
Thank you for showing this..I'd never seen it and it made me cry! I'm a purely Gaelic American whose family has been here over 300 years. Ancestors fought England in the revolutionary war..and again in 1812. How blessed we have been..and may God continue to bless us!
My pleasure
As a Kentuckian and the daughter of an WWII Vet this hit's me on several levels of pride..thank you so much for this reaction
I'm an alum of the Kentucky All State Orchestra (1988) and we're very proud in Kentucky of our music and musicianship. The hotel where this was filmed is the Hyatt Regency in downtown Louisville, about 20 minutes from my home via bus.
I've watched this so many times. I love it. I actually got to perform with the All Dtate choir for KY one year and it was so rewarding
As an American, I start bawling about three seconds into our Anthem. Oh, and I am a left-wing wacko Democrat - and proud of it.
I am a immigrant from South Africa, and I became a American citizen. I fought for the united states'in Iraq for a year. I will love this country 24/⁷7 until the day I die
Thank you. Welcome.
That was the best rendition I have ever heard of the Star Spangled Banner! Though I must admit many people really need to get their heads out of the asses! When The Anthem is played or sung you are supposed to remain still and hand over your heart! In uniformed services we are actually required to stand at attention and salute the flag and anthem
I haven't even gotten to your reaction but im already excited.
Not only is it the national anthem of my country but it's done by a choir from my home state!
Much love from the Bluegrass State from a guy living in the Hoosier State (Indiana)
i am a war veteran and i am from Kentucky... for everyone at this hotel to come outside at 11pm and sing our national anthem with this much pride and sing it this good will give you goosebumps... it has become a yearly tradition at this hotel.. amazing to feel what u feel if u r there
Years before everyone had a phone in their pocket to record these things... I saw this happen... spontaneously... in a similar hotel in Atlanta. It was not planned... it was just a few young students who recognized the acoustics... started singing... and the ENTIRE BUILDING joined in... it wasn't as clean as this... or as practiced... but it was just as amazing, if not more so, because it was naturally spontaneous.
To know the story of our anthem . Makes it what it is.
This truly brought me to tears as I just saw it last night when some one posted it. God Bless America MAGA
As an American & as a Kentucky native this brings great pride to my heart❤
😀
Incredible. Tears. (And thank you for not talking over it).
You’re kind man, from Rodney in Texas.
Thank you
Gives me chills. Welll done!
i live right next to the appalachian mts in kentucky.. i grew up in glasgow, kentucky.. scottish settled this area.. my family migrated from scotland to here early 1800s, sometime before 1831... i am a war veteran and i love them singing our anthem so beautiful and in my home state
I am an American. I once wore the uniform of my Country and took an oath to defend Her against all enemies both domestic or foreign. I would put the uniform back on if asked. I may be a little older and slower, but my skills are still there. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Wow I really appreciate ur comments. While I was not in that particular video, I have been there at that hotel and sang the anthem just like that in 1995,1996,1997 & 1998 as a part of the Kentucky high school All-State Choir. That was very nostalgic and brought back great memories.
I was fortunite enough to be born and raised in and around Baltimore,so the story of Ft.McHenry and the flag is engrained in my DNA..Cheers from this Yank!!God speed...
I am a native Kentuckian and am from the Appalachians also. Our family has some Scots heritage which makes me happy. I love the idea that we mountain people mixed that culture with so many others. I love Bluegrass music which is strongly linked to the Scots and Irish people. Though we don’t sound exactly like you, our accent is unique in America and linguists tie it back to Scots and Irish too. I love your brogue… must be the family relationship. And I weep at the Battle of Culloden.
The students come out to the rails directly across from their hotel room and sing wherever they are at that time just before bed. It's now a yearly tradition.
They do this every year. Love hearing these high school students sing.
