I'll have you know 1155 has been singing O' Canada after the other anthems at NYC for the past two years. |
Nice! Especially considering that no Canadian teams were at NYC this year. [Though I think the UK and Brazil were each represented.]
I like hearing "O Canada" and "The Star Spangled Banner" sung one right after the other. Quite a tough job for the vocalist, one because of the accidentals and intervals, the other for its sheer range. This certainly adds to the challenge of auditioning to sing them.
I wonder how many FRC regionals get to hear both? Hopefully any where Canadian teams are entered. This year I think that may mean more than half of the regionals.
Did they sing the Brazilian anthem at NJ this year? I recall hearing it at MWR a couple of years ago.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
