Patriotic Music & American History School Assembly • K–6
Spirit of America!
A patriotic songs school assembly that celebrates America through music, multimedia, and full-audience sing-alongs. From “Yankee Doodle” to Broadway, students discover how patriotic music tells the story of our country.
Spirit of America brings back the patriotic songs many adults remember from their own elementary years—“America the Beautiful,” “The Star-Spangled Banner,” “God Bless America,” and more—and reintroduces them to a generation of students who often never get to sing them in school.
Using a visually exciting multimedia concert format, students see lyrics on a big screen, learn about the songwriters, and discover how each piece of music connects to a moment in American history.
Why Does Your School Need Spirit of America?

Why Patriotic Songs? Why Now?
Patriotic music is more than just a fun way to sing along. These songs can instill a sense of pride and connection in kids, especially when they understand the stories and values behind the lyrics. Songs like “America the Beautiful” help students appreciate the natural beauty of our country—from the mountains to the prairies—while others highlight our history and shared ideals.
Patriotic songs can also introduce the rights and responsibilities of citizenship in a way that feels accessible. In a world that often seems divided, singing together can remind kids that, despite our differences, we are all Americans.
Spirit of America gives your students a positive, inclusive way to feel proud of their country and to carry that sense of appreciation with them for years to come.
