Why can’t we just sing the National Anthem together, as one people at an event together? Why turn it into a spectator event/concert performed by an elite? We could start some healing this way.

Because it is unsingable by most people - the vocal range is too great. It was originally a drinking song, you know.

We don’t sing it to showcase anybody’s musical talents. Agreed it is difficult, but citizens can just “make a joyful noise” celebrating their citizenship. We won’t be graded on it.
