I have sung the Star Spangled Banner as a collaboration with students from 103 at last year's NJ Regional. Depending on how your Regional Committee decides to do it, they may ask for students on Thursday morning to volunteer to sing either Friday, Saturday, or both days during Opening Ceremonies. Either students will sing it (a capella with Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass) or FIRST plays their recording, just like any other country's anthem.
This works for students from any country! The girls from 1547 sang the Canadian Anthem for us as well.
My advice would be to ask your Regional Director how they plan on doing the anthems. It differs from place to place. Also, remember that you are representing your team/regional/state/country. Perfection is pretty much demanded. Get in touch with them now and practice, practice, practice!
