Oh Say Can You Sing ... Just Like a Super Star?

* Opportunity to perform the "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the Motown Winter Blast

* National anthem karaoke contest with chances to win Jeep(R) merchandise

* Interactive games and activities to test and teach the historical significance of the national anthem to participants

WHAT: The singing of the national anthem is a major part of any sporting event, including the NFL's Super Bowl. To ensure that everyone is singing loudly and proudly on Feb. 5, the National Anthem Project is stopping at the Motown Winter Blast. All Winter Blast attendees are invited to perform "The Star-Spangled Banner" at a national anthem karaoke contest located across from the R&B/Jazz stage in the Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge Taste of Detroit tent. All participants will have the opportunity to win Jeep brand prizes and play/take part in other activities teaching and testing their knowledge on the words and history on the national anthem.

A recent Harris Poll showed that two out of three Americans don't know the words to "The Star-Spangled Banner." In response to that alarming statistic, the National Association for Music Education (MENC) launched the "National Anthem Project: Restoring America's Voice" in 2005 with the Jeep brand as the National Presenting Sponsor. The mission of the multi-year national education initiative is to re-teach Americans the words to "The Star-Spangled Banner."
