Agreed. Add to the list my pet peeve: people who drag the damn thing out and make it a performance about themselves. The anthem isn't about you, so just lead it, be swift about it and move things along. Fastest anthems I've ever played were under Col. John Bourgeois.
There are two treatments that I think are noteworthy because of quality. First is Stravinsky's treatment. It doesn't sound so off to modern ears, but at the time it was scandalous. And nothing says America like an expatriated Russian genius living in LA dousing his depression in a fifth of scotch a day.
The other is the Stanford band arrangement. I think maybe they started out just trying to be over the top different, but by intention or by accident, they stumbled upon one of the most reverent treatments possible, I think. I had a hard time finding an ok recording on YouTube. This isn't the best trumpet I've heard, and you can't really hear the piccolo solo line in the b verses, but it's what I've got.
