PLEASE  - all those who plan opening ceremonies at football, baseball, hockey or any other sporting event, just  have a band or a chorus sing the National Anthem . . . NOT a 'celebrity'.  They botch it every time and last night was no exception.

PS the music to the anthem was originally a drinking song - and rather upbeat.  It was not and is not a funeral dirge and should be inspirational and uplifting and lively!!

In my opinion they should stick with marching bands - they know how to play the anthem well!!  And by all that's holy - stop the improvisational singing!!

Thank you.
      The American public
