The College agrees that a cer...Thank you, Danny. <br /><br />The College agrees that a certain protocol must be established for the "official" singing of the anthem; we are drafting just such a recommendation wherein the song ends after each lyrical phrase has been sung to each musical phrase exactly once, i.e., when "United, We Stand" is sung in the last position of the four-phrase melody (the line with the high note on the end), this would indicate the closing of the song, at which time a rousing repeat of the line "United, We Stand" would be sung one last time. <br /><br />In effect, this would make the song about half as long as the version presented in the video.Ross Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14133264758384138110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811789998026860221.post-12335556044654302462010-06-30T17:09:17.735-04:002010-06-30T17:09:17.735-04:00Ros, that's awesome.

A very clever idea, a nice song, simple (and infinite lyrics), and even accompanying merchandise--what more could one ask?<br /><br />On the other hand it's infinitely repeatable nature makes it hard to know when it ends, making it difficult to use at ball games, races, and other civic events. Kind of like Shari Lewis' "This is the Song That Doesn't End..."<br /><br />That said, I still love it!Danny Sandshttp://www.linkedin.com/in/dannysandsnoreply@blogger.com
