natesquared agreed, this song is excellent and is about America, but our current national anthem isn't actually pleasing to listen to and is about how our flag looked after waving on a battlefield, it speaks nothing of the heart of the people and paints us in a bit of a negative light.
@Jonnie Rose If this rendition made you well up with Pride, Then a video from my disabled account should to. One of the most beautiful videos i have ever created. When the account gets restored; Planning on making a Part 2! .... Anyway here's the video. th-cam.com/video/eATJP6dx8U8/w-d-xo.html
Wonderful to see so much talent amongst the youth. Those here are no doubt the best & a lot of hard work to be in the orchestra. I have subscribed. Beautiful playing
People say that this should be our national anthem but I don’t think so. Other national anthems talk about how nice or pretty their country is. Our anthem is about the shear integrity we have, that even in the most trying times, our flag, our nation, our people, still stand tall and proud. This is a beautiful song, but I think the Star spangled banner is a perfect representation of what all ‘true’ Americans believe in.
I disagree. “America the Beautiful” is a hymn to the diversity in which the United States finds strength. We should aspire to be a nation in which all people of any race, religion, orientation, or class can thrive. Furthermore, “The Star-Spangled Banner” is a song about war. As we look to the future, our national anthem should be one of peace.
Beautifully played. Fun fact. This was not written about the tri-state area. This song is about Colorado, Pikes Peak. I don’t think anyone in the right mind would refer to the mid-Atlantic region as being beautiful. Random trivia.
This is the best version I could find so far , however the Family guy version is the winner but I can not find it anywhere . Does anyone know where the Family Guy S9 Ep2 - ( Excellence in Broadcasting ) version can be found ??? This was the Rush Limbaugh episode where he flies away as an eagle to their version of America the Beautiful . I would love to find it , please let me know ...thanks
The Watermelon Factory this is the national youth orchestra. They range from 16-19 year olds. Each one of those kids are the best student musicians in the usa. Its EXTREAMLY hard to get into.
This rendition is better than a lot of the professional orchestras around the world. Don't dismiss it because of their age. Most of them have probably practiced way above 10 000 hours each.
So much better than any if the trash that the adults have messed up on thus music/song. I thought to myself when listening to this song: How The Shema was hidden and disguised in this song., "From sea to shining sea". What shape is the shapes of ears? Obviously the shape of a "C" ....
The conductor looks completely bored, actually he is not conducting at all, he is just keeping time. These kids play just awesome and this is such a wonderful arrangement but there is a very strange modulation at 01:18
What is your definition of conducting then? A conductor is supposed to keep a clear beat for the musicians. Every orchestra or choir I’ve conducted required a clean beat in order to perform adequately. Conductors aren’t supposed to be jumping around like Leonard Bernstein.
I’ve always felt this should be our national anthem

Alot of people consider America the Beautiful an unofficial anthem.
Me too
it will be the official anthem once God's will is fullfilled ;)
Wait, it's not?
You "kids" made this old lady well up with pride. Exquisite performance!
+Jonnie Rose What's with the quotations? They are kids. Not one of them looks a day over 19. Whatever the case, they were fantastic.
*young men and women

Patriotism at its beautiful state
Very nice
WE ARE GOING TO A CONCERT 5/03/18
WHO ELSE???!
I agree they did pretty well
Wow ... Well done.
The true national anthem of America
IMO America the Beautiful would be a better national anthem than the Star Spangled Banner in almost every way
When you defeated the USSR yet still have this solemn hymn:
John Glenn at 3:31

I mean some parts are really gorgeous
Like Niagara Falls or Lake George for example
I played this on Perseverance when he was landing
🎼🎧🎼
May I use this?
This is the best version I could find so far , however the Family guy version is the winner but I can not find it anywhere .

I would love to find it , please let me know ...thanks
On an irrelevant note, Rest In Peace Limbaugh.

Mihaela roxancu is the Wonderful woman of United States our National Anthem 🇺🇲🇺🇸

is there a recording of a band playing this where everyone in the band is over 20? why do only high school bands play this?

Sounds like Universal Studios..
I think this is the music used when you do the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag at your schools.
The melody was based on the old church hymn, O Mother Dear Jerusalem (Materna) - th-cam.com/video/FCix4LE-XeY/w-d-xo.html
oo thank you, learn something new today

The Iowa All-State Orchestra should perform this arrangement instead of the Alice Jordan version that they currently use.
Now this is why we do what we do. U S Marines!!! Oohrah
This is like something out of Saving Private Ryan
gave me more chills than the version recorded for Fallout 3
nn
that timpani solo tho
i am not a perfect citizen

No he isn´t, well he might be by U.S. standards.

Joe Schmo TBH I'd be bored as well, this song is hillariously simple no matter how grand it sounds or how many parts added
@@allknowing145 All the best musical ideas are simple in their basic form.
Yay for Trump! we've restored order
Christian Kelley Come on. This song is meant to our great nation, and its long journey. Political sarcasm not necessary.
Well you ruined the core value of the song :(
I was at this very concert. The date was July X, 2014. But go ahead, credit Trump with it, and why not? He would.
Brigid Shore x as in 10 or?
Christian Kelley keep politics out of an orchestra.
