I wholeheartedly concur.

As a musical composition, the Anthem leaves much to be desired.

It's really not a bad tune, and not difficult to sing.

The whole trick is that you have to remember that it starts LOW. Most songs start in the middle of the overall range -- but the SSB is in the basement on note 3.

So pitch it low, and you'll have no trouble (or hum the next to last measure to yourself before you start).
