To sing or to NOT sing? To yell “O” or “Red” or to not do so?
I will be singing. Sing alongside me, please.

Our National Anthem at Games
We are now asking and encouraging our fans to SING the National Anthem at Capitals games.
That is a great touch. I have started to sing it and it feels really great.
I think it is moving to hear our fans sing in unison. It shows pride and love of our country.
How about joining me in singing on Sunday?!
Here is the worst version ever of the National Anthem at a game. Check this one out…gulp.
Now That You Brought It Up
We should be more respectful when the National Anthem is sung. Taking off your hat is the right gesture. NOT screaming “RED” or “O” is also the right thing to do. Placing your hand on your heart or giving a military salute is also appropriate.
The only thing that I would love to see and hear is what happens in Chicago is the deep and roaring applause all the way through the National Anthem as a true sign of encouragement and respect. That would be a great thing for our fans to do. Let us start a new tradition, what do you say?
