Make a Star-Spangled Musical Statement with a National Anthem Day Event on September 14, 2011!
2004–2007  In response to a 2004 Harris Interactive survey that showed two out of three Americans didn't know the words to our national anthem, MENC: The National Association for Music Education created the "National Anthem Project: Restoring America's Voice" campaign in March 2005 to re-teach the anthem while raising awareness of the importance of school music. The National Anthem Project officially culminated in a grand finale in Washington, DC, in June 2007, after celebrating music education through community anthem sings and special events at road shows in each state. MENC continues to encourage communities to celebrate school music by singing the Anthem together on National Anthem Day, September 14. If your school participates in a National Anthem Sing this September, please register here to receive your All-Star school certificate.
