Star Spangled Banner instrumental[edit]

An instrumental version of The Star-Spangled Banner, the national anthem of the United States. Performed by the US Navy Band.

The The Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem of one of the largest countries in the world. This recording seems to be very high quality and is in the public domain.

Support There actually is another FS of the Star Spangled Banner already, sung by President Wilson's daughter, however that version is sufficinently different from this one (historical, with gramaphone damage, and sung vs modern, no damage, instrumental) that I don't see an issue here. We have a precedent in this with the two versions of Maple Leaf Rag. Sven Manguard Wha? 04:54, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Yep, they're just excellent, as usual. Tony (talk) 10:24, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Sounds good to me. I'm not worried at this stage about having more than one version a piece - they should be on our featured list because of their own merit. We can look again at that situation should we get multiple excellent versions of many pieces of music. Major Bloodnok (talk) 19:20, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- There is even the option of having both versions of a piece share a day. I'd like to do that with the rag, because of the history behind the different versions. Donno about this though. Sven Manguard Wha? 22:36, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support I'm surprised this wasn't found sooner. Haven't pretty much all of the world's countries' national anthems been performed by the navy band? --haha169 (talk) 04:32, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They have and I may nominate a few others --Guerillero | My Talk 14:34, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
