Children's Choir Stopped Mid-Performance While Singing National Anthem at US Capitol, Capitol Police Claims it is a Prohibited Form of Protest
|
[GatewayPundit] In a shocking turn of events, the Rushingbrook Children’s Choir was interrupted and stopped while singing the National Anthem in Statuary Hall at the United States Capitol.
The children, part of the esteemed Rushingbrook Children’s Choir, had traveled to Washington, D.C. last Friday, May 26th, for a scheduled Capitol tour and had received prior approval to sing a short set of patriotic songs inside the historic Statuary Hall.
However, as their angelic voices filled the grand hall while they sang The Star-Spangled Banner with pride, one of the guides intervened, as he was told by the Capitol police that the children stop singing immediately. The abrupt interruption stunned the young performers, the choir director, and the assembled audience.
The incident is now under investigation. Efforts are underway to gather further information surrounding the interruption and address the incident properly.
“We’re working on gathering info for now. We’d gotten permission from some SC congressmen and had also gotten it cleared by the Speaker of the House’s office. Once we have more info, we’ll know better how to proceed,” said Debbie Baughman Davis when asked who to address about this appalling interruption by Capitol police.
This is vile. There are school musical groups performing in public spaces every day around Washington, DC. The performances are approved and scheduled a year or more in advance, as far as I am aware, giving the groups time to raise money for travel expenses and to get on the calendar for legislator meet’n’greets, not to mention visiting some of the usual educational tourism spots. I went with my high school orchestra — we played Bach in the National Cathedral, where I discovered that the real purpose of the pauses between movements is to allow the building echos to cease accompanying the performance, and in the little church in Olde Williamsburg. It was the second time I stayed in a hotel, even if it was just a Howard Johnson’s, and the whole thing was a really big deal to me. As I recall, we sold chocolate bars door to door to raise money, in addition to whatever our parents paid. |
Update at 8:15 a.m ET: The Daily Signal finds out what happened next. The Capitol Police claim they did not stop the choir mid-performance, that the choir director lied about having permissions, and also claim that musical performances are not permitted in that space. Also, the South Carolina congressional delegation has offered to cover the group’s expenses so they can return to sing in the Capitol whenever they please. |
