The Star Spangled Banner belongs to All of us so any "solos" should be done, allowing enough structure for everyone to join in. ...Not sure a Jimi Hendrix version qualifies but that's not my call.
I had the unique situation of having an international team of American and British students. I was a bit taken aback when we attended our first regional and the UK kids didn't know the words to their national anthem.
Last Year, I printed it out and we ALL sang it when it was played.
Anyway... if I'm there... there will NOT be a soloist... I'll always be (perhaps embarrassing everyone but) ...accompanying.
