Celebrate 200th Anniversary Of The Star Spangled Banner While Living In DC Corporate Housing

Celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Star Spangled Banner while you are staying in our corporate housing this June.  In celebration of the bicentennial of one of the nation's most iconic symbols, a variety of events will be held this summer in Washington DC and around the region. On Flag Day, June 14th, visitors are invited to "Raise It Up!" by gathering at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History to sing the national anthem. The event kicks off at 2:30 p.m. EDT with performances by a 500-person choir conducted by Grammy-winning composer Eric Whitacre and MacArthur 'genius' Fellow Francisco J. Núñez as well as performances by The U.S. Air Force Band and Singing Sergeants led by commander and conductor Col. Larry Lang. In addition, from June 14th through July 6th the original manuscript of the Star Spangled Banner lyrics will be on display with the flag that Key saw that inspired him.  You can see the 30 X 40 foot flag and manuscript side by side.  Other items of significance will also be on display.
