In 1931, after finally passing in Congress, it officially became America’s official National anthem. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed an executive order that “The Star Spangled Banner” will be sung as our national anthem for all military ceremonies. During the Civil war, Union troops began singing the tune more and more and it gained in popularity. After the war of 1812, it started being sung everywhere, kind of like a tune you hear on the radio today that becomes well known. In 1931, America adopted “The Star Spangled Banner” as our National anthem. The poem was eventually set to music, and it became the song we all know today Why is “The Star Spangled Banner” our National anthem So, in this blog post, I want to show you how to teach The Star Spangled Banner.įrancis Scott Key, an American poet, author, and lawyer, wrote “The Star Spangled Banner.” Key witnessed Baltimore, Maryland being bombed by the British in 1814, during the war of 1812, and wrote a poem titled “The Defense of Fort McHenry.” He was aboard a ship, and as morning came, he could distinctly see our American flag waving proudly in the sky through all of the smoke. I want you to feel confident teaching not only the song, but the story behind The National Anthem to your students. It’s so important that our children grow up learning this song and know the history of why it is written. So he shouldn't aim for a hard-charger like "Standing In the Shadows of Love." A far better fit would be Marvin Gaye's How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)," which has the kind of unfolding melody, and earnest intent, that would let Scott do YOU think they should sing? Tell us in the comments section below.“The Star Spangled Banner” is our National Anthem. Also he's got one of this year's most mellow voices. Scott MacIntyre: Scott favors piano pieces, the better to show off his tinkling skills. So he ought to avoid anything too obvious, the better to stand out - meaning no "ABC" or "I'll Be There." Instead, Michael should go for a later Motown hit that people might not instantly associate with the company - like The Commodores "Easy." Michael Sarver: Michael's voice has never outshined his back story (as the oil rigger turned crooner). Which means Megan needs to steer clear of any Motown barn burners, like "I Want You Back" or "I Can't Help Myself." For her, I'd choose a breathy, Diana Ross-led song like "Where Did Our Love Go?" Megan Joy: She's got the thinnest voice of the remaining players.
