National Anthem Project Road Show


Official Tour Management Company of the National Anthem Project

The National Anthem Project rolled into communities across the entire continental United States and Alaska throughout 2006, bringing the campaign to restore America’s voice through music education to you!

The Road Show began in January 2006, with the National Anthem Project Truck visiting local events, schools, sporting events, and civic locations. At each tour stop, community members were invited to come learn about our national anthem, find out how to support their local school music programs, and make music together!

The National Anthem Project Road Show Featured
  • Interactive games created by the History Channel
  • Instrument Petting Zoo
  • Guitar display by Gibson Musical Instruments
  • National Anthem Singing Contest (view winners)
  • Special concerts featuring local dignitaries, celebrities, choirs, and students
  • Fun and learning for all ages!

National Anthem Singing Contest - At each Road Show, participants sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" on stage for a local audience and compete for a chance to be a National Anthem All Star. Selected winners received scholarships for their school music programs and a chance to participate in the campaign’s finale event in Washington, D.C. in 2007.

Local Government Support -- Many communities engaged their government officials in the campaign to restore America’s voice by declaring the local Road Show day "National Anthem Project Day" for their city or state and appearing at press events.
