THIS Is How Our National Anthem Should Be Performed

by Mike Irwin ~ March 27th, 2008. Filed under: Mike's Musings.

… or at least it’s one great example.

This is a group of young ladies called the “Cactus Cuties“.



All I can say is, “Wow!”

Thanks to former MotorSportsNews.Net staff writer Amy C. for this link.

    Mike — you should forward this to NASCAR. Seriously, these kids are great.

  2. Mike Wells

    I have never heard better!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Forward this to EVERY track owner — reminding them to review their national anthem presenters PRIOR to them performing. If I hear one more so-called “blues” version of the national anthem presented in lieu of the “properly” performed version, such as the attached, I may well become sick.

    That gave me goosebumps….and I’m Canadian.!!!

  6. Dan

    One of the Best I have ever heard !!!!!

  7. Nick

    Really great!!

    I just listed to the Cactus Cuties again. There are also a couple of other recordings of the same performance on YouTube, from different viewpoints. You can see those by clicking on the menu at the bottom of the YouTube link.

    I am an old softie when it comes to our NATIONAL ANTHEM anyway, and when these little ladies sing it… well, it just moves me.

    I understand that they are going to be appearing on television on some Disney programs. I hope they can sing at a race sometime.

    Without a doubt, absolutely the best, most moving version I have ever heard.

    It is unbelievable-the pitch, key, and control that these beautiful young ladies have!!!

    Who is thier coach??

  10. Michael

    It’s not Hendrix , but it’s pretty good .

  11. Cathy

    This is from their website (www.cactustheater.com/kids.php)

    The Cactus Kids, Cactus Kiddos, and Cactus Cuties are mentor programs created and directed by Terri and Cami Caldwell. The idea, born out of the Cactus Theater in Lubbock, Texas, is to develop future “Stars of West Texas.” These young and talented entertainers perform all over the West Texas area for various community events. Their ages range from 4 to 17 years old. The Cactus Kids feature a variety of music, including Nostalgia from the 1940’s through the 90’s, Country, Patriotic, and Holiday songs.
