Most American schools recite The Pledge of Allegiance regularly. Some, like those in our state, do it every day. Our belief that music is one of the very best teaching tools for just about any subject led us to write this compelling and dramatic setting. Children performing it this way make the words come to life. From the solo electric guitar to the symphonic strings and brass to the thumping bass and rock drums, the recording of this piece is truly inspirational and one that your kids will respond to positively. The first time through, it is rapped in unison. The second time through, it becomes a call and response rap. Many schools are piping this through their intercoms so the whole school can join in, and in a performance situation it is perfect for movement. (from Music K-8, Vol. 12, No. 1)
