We Will Not Forget

This Veterans Day song is a simple tribute to those who have put themselves in harm's way in service to our country. It is easy to learn and it repeats, so even younger singers should be able to perform it. A clarinet plays the melody throughout to help keep folks on track. Be sure to have your singers crescendo into the endings where the brass fanfare comes in for more impact.

Some things you might try in performance include displaying the American flag or even a color guard where there are multiple flags. This could include your state flag and the flags of all military branches alongside the American flag. Additionally, if your students have relatives who are veterans or are serving in one of the armed forces, it would be fitting to honor them by having them come to the performance in uniform, and have them stand in recognition, or be a part of the aforementioned color guard.
