I Have this saved in my favorites on you tube. Watched it at least 100 times over the years. The crowd can't wait to explode in applause cause its that's damn good. Best version I've ever heard.
Me too. I keep returning to it. It's got such heart and I well up every time. It's funny that the audience wasn't into hearing it initially and it's not the best recording: it's got mic squeal in it, a bum note but it's the version I prefer hearing above all others. It makes feel humble and good.
*Braindead Bogan:* These guys don't produce NEARLY the "goose bumps" that these guys do (at least to me - I absolutely LOVE the last chord!!): ruclips.net/video/Ev-7_cxxjMg/видео.html
Ditto. And smiles too, I keep hitting the progress line back so I can hear certain passages over and over, most notably that penultimate swipe, unbelievable tone and harmonies.
"That seventh chord was so dope!" "It was most certainly the bomb, yo, dawg!" "It's like barber-shizzle!" "Whadda you think, Rog?" "What's happenin'?!" ruclips.net/video/MdTS6-fbNH0/видео.html at 5:21
Same arrangement we sung for the Florida Marlins back in 92 (or 93... something like that). However, we didn't do it this amount of justice. I bow down now.
0:14 that part on say does that star spangled that part was the greatest of all you brought your voice up high where the flag still waves just LOVE it how you brought it up
This is the absolute best version of our national anthem ever performed. This makes me want to cry, sing, and run through a brick wall for this country. This version certainly inspires hope for this once great nation.
Wow so awesome. The crowd was going so wild you couldn't even hear the last note! I clicked on the video hoping they would give their own comedic spin to the National Anthem but I am just happy hearing the song being sung in barberbshop, personally haven't heard it done like that before
Yes, the cheering before the last note completed could be considered rude, just think; so many random folks felt a surge of patriotic feeling, that they couldn't help themselves. That's how I like to think of it:)
The slide up to the penultimate chord has the potential to create wormholes in spacetime. As you Yanks would (perhaps stereotypically, but I think appropriately) say - DAYMN.
I can honestly say that I have NEVER in my life ever heard a version of this beautiful song as good as this one. This was astounding! Thank you so much for posting this and please never stop!
This version and the one performed by the Gaither Vocals are my two favorites. My favorite instrumental version is performed my a trombone quartet from the US Army.
you're correct, it was a straight G major chord, but the guy did 'whoop' the seventh, which is a F. None of the four in the quartet sang the F but the audience member happened to add the seventh. Good stuff, audience member :D
Memories. I got to sing the National Anthem with my Barbershop Chorus (when I lived in Florida) for the opening Marlins game. It was an awesome experience.
I thought it was the guy on the right? Look at is mimic. You see him concentrate in it. Anyhow.. its not my national anthem, but man this is great to hear and watch.
Bono is the name No, I think he's meant to be joking. If you listen at that point, some one guy in the audience shouts a "Woo!" whose pitch was actually pretty close to the seventh!
LUNCH BREAK!!! Thanks for an awesome show this spring in Algona!!! You gentlemen are bitchin in the best way possible! God bless America and God bless barbershop!
Приколы
I hope the guy on the left doesn't try to steal my dinosaur embryos.
+Franz Liszt - Looks to me like the portly gentleman on the left was sing lead....not bass!
That reference just made my life
+rotunda57 you're all wrong XD That "portly gentleman", nice way of putting it by the way, is Shane and he sings tenor.
Damn it Dennis!
Franz Liszt lmao
If you listen REALLLLLLLLY carefully...you can actually hear the last chord!!!
This is the most consistently moving arrangement that I've ever heard
I first heard this arrangement with Gas House Gang.
Man, when that big guy sings "O say does that Star Spangled Banner"--chills
Somehow, guys that big are always the tenor
Favorite barbershop quartet. Ever.
+Eli Evans Mine too! They are vocal AND comedy geniuses!!
I love how everyone started cheering when the suspended fourth resolved down to the third. haha
that shi do be hella moving tho
IKRRR
I am speechless at the pure and perfect harmony.
im British and i have to admit, you Americans have one beautiful anthem :')
Joseph Mei-Christopher THANK YOU SO MUCH THE UK IS MY FAVORITE COUNTRY
Couldn't have made it without you ;)
@@residentevil5pwner lol...literally. From a poem about the Battle of Baltimore against the British in 1812.
Yeah and it’s reallly hard to sing
It was y'alls bar song that we got the melody from, so thank you!

R H SAME HERE
You should check out Acoustix. They did the star spangled banner at a Mavericks game a while back
@@DefconNytemare ok, I will for sure. Do you cringe every time someone starts singing it? Haha. You never know what you're going to get.
@@RH-ib7bg not really
Would of loved to hear the ending.. But that applause was much deserved!
*RFD2127:* If you want to hear a GREAT "ending", listen to these guys: ruclips.net/video/Ev-7_cxxjMg/видео.html
When I hear them sing this it doesn't make me want to kneel. It makes me feel I could fly.
I've watched this video over 25 times.
Goosebumps. Every single time.
Me too. I keep returning to it. It's got such heart and I well up every time. It's funny that the audience wasn't into hearing it initially and it's not the best recording: it's got mic squeal in it, a bum note but it's the version I prefer hearing above all others. It makes feel humble and good.
Coulnd't agree more. Had to hear it once more.

I get cold chills at the ending every time I watch this video.
*David Mather:* Here's some more "cold chills" for you - listen to these guys: ruclips.net/video/Ev-7_cxxjMg/видео.html
This was the sound of TRUE professionalism at work. God bless America!!!
I CAN'T HEAR THE DAMN LAST CHORD!!! THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE BEST ONE, DAMN IT!!!
*squeezemyparticiple:* If want to hear a FANTASTIC "last chord", listen to these guys: ruclips.net/video/Ev-7_cxxjMg/видео.html
Janis Hart agreed
WOW!! Newman sings quartet and does postal work for the U.S.... wow... really is a patriot.
I'm Canadian, and this is my favorite version of any national anthem.
Watching this in 2023. Good lord Lunchbreak, you guys are good.
Well sung, well sung. A great arrangement sung by some awesome guys!
FANTASTIC. God Bless you All..
I got Goosebumbs....that was really amazing...and the crowd loved it too. Hats off to them!
I’ve heard other groups do this arrangement but I think this ones the best
Wow, at 1:13, I got chills. AMAZING tenor. Beautiful harmony. Great job!
These guys are so damn good, this is the national anthem rendition we need at the Super Bowl !!
Even with the stupid crowd cheering while they sing, they still did this arrangement as well as Gas House Gang. They did it great credit, well done.
Bill Stein I’d recommend staying away from Chicago Blackhawks’ games.
*Bill Stein:* Take a listen to THESE guys: ruclips.net/video/Ev-7_cxxjMg/видео.html
That was amazing. They killed it!
Man, did this ever knock my socks off!
Finally a lunch break song where the tenor can flourish.
Great way to feature our style of music guys! Awesome singing!
Hola! It's me, Cristena Dylan, Molly Springs Middle School Principal. The best performance is all I ever wanted.
The seventh note was lit
"That seventh chord was so dope!"
"It was most certainly the bomb, yo, dawg!"
"It's like barber-shizzle!"
"Whadda you think, Rog?"
"What's happenin'?!"

@@lifeontheledgerlines8394 Thank you for that lol!
This is the best performance of the Star-Spangled Banner in my opinion, I wish something like this can happen again.
These guys are a very goofy quartet, but man they nailed this!
wonderful.
Same arrangement we sung for the Florida Marlins back in 92 (or 93... something like that).
However, we didn't do it this amount of justice. I bow down now.
thespiscraeft what arrangement is it?
@@nicklandon5563 Jim Clancy's arrangement.
A Clancy arrangement always great
That's my boy with that full voice tenor! WTG Shane and Lunch Break!!!
Interesting rendition. Terrific harmony!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Gives me chills every time I watch.
0:14 that part on say does that star spangled that part was the greatest of all you brought your voice up high where the flag still waves just LOVE it how you brought it up
THISSSS is how you perform the National Anthem...after hearing this song hundreds of times, the crowd reaction tells it all... kudos 💯
#Wow
I LOVED THE LAST CHORD
Well done gentlemen. God bless America.
This is the absolute best version of our national anthem ever performed. This makes me want to cry, sing, and run through a brick wall for this country. This version certainly inspires hope for this once great nation.
suh-weet! Makes me proud to be a barbershop singer AND an American! Thanks, guys
Great job guys!!! Love it!!!
No lip sinking on that performance! Absolutely fantastic!
I swear to god, if my country's national anthem was this,
I'd NEVER lip sing during whatever event......
Wow so awesome. The crowd was going so wild you couldn't even hear the last note! I clicked on the video hoping they would give their own comedic spin to the National Anthem but I am just happy hearing the song being sung in barberbshop, personally haven't heard it done like that before
Well, that was a different arrangement!
Well done, gents!
Listening again!!!
I hate how announcers will randomly put "The" before quartet names. They're just "Lunch Break".
I know what the you means! The announcers always inserting the definite articles where the ever they the damn well please!
I'm a Brit and find this particular rendition quite moving...
The one person that disliked this needs their head examined.
The US really does have a smashingly brilliant national anthem.
GREAT GREAT GREAT!! Thanks for sharing!! lol from Italy
Yes, the cheering before the last note completed could be considered rude, just think; so many random folks felt a surge of patriotic feeling, that they couldn't help themselves. That's how I like to think of it:)
Wow. That was absolutely awesome!!! Well done!
Wow! Exceptional! Love it!
Norm Starks
Awesome, now that makes a Marine proud! Amen, God bless America! Semper Fidelis
The slide up to the penultimate chord has the potential to create wormholes in spacetime. As you Yanks would (perhaps stereotypically, but I think appropriately) say - DAYMN.
Made me tear up! So good....
I can honestly say that I have NEVER in my life ever heard a version of this beautiful song as good as this one. This was astounding! Thank you so much for posting this and please never stop!
This version and the one performed by the Gaither Vocals are my two favorites.
My favorite instrumental version is performed my a trombone quartet from the US Army.
nailed it!
This is like the fifth time I've listened to this. Please...PLEASE promise that this is a one year hiatus and not a permanent disbandment.
Please?
Awesome job, Shane and company! Love it!
1:41 One of the smoothest and most synchronized slides I've ever heard
WOW!! That's had to feel pretty amazing guys :-)
Yeah I hear it too!
Wow, awesome!
you're correct, it was a straight G major chord, but the guy did 'whoop' the seventh, which is a F. None of the four in the quartet sang the F but the audience member happened to add the seventh. Good stuff, audience member :D
Damn that's good! Thank you!!!!
Very nice,could listen all night. Ken. (ENGLAND).x
Amazing guys!!!
.....WHOO!!! Amazing! Awesome! Terrific! Fabulous! Moving! Powerful! That about sums it up :D
This is still my favorite barbershop national anthem performance. Better then the MaxQstix ones online. :)
Memories. I got to sing the National Anthem with my Barbershop Chorus (when I lived in Florida) for the opening Marlins game. It was an awesome experience.
All these people bitching about the cheering... if that happened while I was singing, I would be SO STOKED!
The awkward moment when the pre-match national anthem is better than the match.
Epic!
Awesome.
someone sang the seventh note in the crowd at 1:25
I thought it was the guy on the right? Look at is mimic. You see him concentrate in it. Anyhow.. its not my national anthem, but man this is great to hear and watch.
You're right! It sounds like a whoop but is just in tune at the right time.
Bono is the name No, I think he's meant to be joking. If you listen at that point, some one guy in the audience shouts a "Woo!" whose pitch was actually pretty close to the seventh!
sylinmino
That's what i said!
Indeed, sir!
Fantastic job guys from your friend in the Carolinas District!
I need this sheet music !!!
this is beautiful. and they're a comedy quartet!!
This is exactly what we need to put infront of large audiences. Great job.
LUNCH BREAK!!! Thanks for an awesome show this spring in Algona!!! You gentlemen are bitchin in the best way possible! God bless America and God bless barbershop!
Well done! You make us Barbershoppers proud!
always gives me goosebumps !
I heard some of those notes I loved it
freakin sweet!
This is my favorite rendition of the Anthem.
Awesome!
Heck yes, guys! Well done!
Damn, that's good.
6 years later and I'm STILL enjoying this one. Sorry the Bunch split up.
Way to go my friends! You all did a most awesome job!!!
usaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where can I purchase this arrangement? I can't find it anywhere!
Still listening to it, and i'm not even an American ....awesome vocal job !
Amazing!!!
PERFECT! Not sung like an audition for American Idol! Bravo....and note the audience approval; they agree!
