    I think this is the highest quality version of the Aim High America SSB out there on TH-cam.

    These two songs were recorded for the Air Force in the early '80s by the "Vocal Majority" chorus from Dallas, now the 13-time International Champion Barbershop Chorus in the Barbershop Harmony Society. The Air Force added the video and they were used at Air Force bases worldwide in base theaters at the beginning of each showing of a movie. TV stations across the country picked them up to use as the "sign-off" at the end of the broadcasting day. Today, the chorus still sings "The National Anthem", only with a slightly different arrangement and interpretation. The arrangements were done by Jim Clancy, our longtime director (40 years!) and now the Executive Director. His son Greg now directs the chorus.

    Star-Spangled Banner (0:08) :
    O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
    What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
    Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
    O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
    And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
    Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
    O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
    (America! My home!)
    Lord, Guard and Guide the Men Who Fly (1:57) :
    Lord, guard and guide the men who fly,
    Through the great spaces of the sky;
    Be with them traversing the air
    In darkening storms or sunshine fair
    Aloft in solitudes of space,
    Uphold them with Thy saving grace.
    O God, protect the men who fly
    Thru lonely ways beneath the sky.

    I remember watching both of these videos in Arnold Hall at the Academy in the early 1990s. The Academy Staff did a good job of keeping cadets focused on and dreaming about where we were headed during what seemed like four interminable years. The beauty of the Air Force Hymn coupled with aircraft stayed in my memory for over two decades, and years ago prompted me to look it up on TH-cam. I keep the lyrics to the Air Force Hymn by Mary Hamilton on the wall. USAFA graduate and F-16 pilot
