Right??? Just sing it. No need for the embellishments! 🙄

I spent my career as a military musician. I really care about the anthem and hate the "artistic" embellishments. Especially the extra note in "banner."

I’d visited the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier several times before attending a wreath laying. Every soldier’s motions were precise, the exception being the bugler who had an almost imperceptible hitch in his stride. I assume you can put the soldier in a musician, but you can’t take the musician out of a soldier. Thank you for your service.
