One of Nathan Howe’s first arrangements which was used for public performance, this rendition of the U.S. National Anthem was completed in 1999 for the choirs at Thompson Valley High School in Loveland, Colorado.  It was used for football games, graduation, and other events.

The arrangement is included here mostly for archival purposes; most choirs would find this SA(T)B arrangement more suitable for their needs.
