Question

What do you think of the Star Spangled Banner arrangement at the 2008 Olympic Games?

Answer 1

It is a work in progress.

they made a movie about the first modern Olympics in Athens when the Star Spangled Banner was chosen by the Greek Officials as the US national anthem. Prior to that the US had no national anthem. the fact is that it was the easier song to learn but it took them the entire Olympics to become good at it. by the end of the Olympics they were tired of playing it. I figure the Chinese will be tired of it soon enough after the swimming and the track and field are over they will hate it too. But, one thing is for sure they will know how to play it better.

Answer 2

It reminds me of the old national anthems they used to play on TV at sign off time.

Answer 3

The podium music is a very nice version.
