This uplifting song is ideal for any patriotic program - any music classroom, for that matter. Paul Jennings' excellent arrangement showcases the horn, making this patriotic classic downright inspirational. Add to that the fact that most kids already know the melody and probably most of the lyrics, and you've got instant success on your hands. The second vocal parts are optional, so you can use the song with just about any age level. Bring out the flags and prepare to raise a few goosebumps! (from Music K-8, Vol. 4, No. 1)
