LAGRANGE, Ga. — A local sergeant is honoring his country with a fitting tribute this Independence Day.
Sgt. Robert Kirby of the LaGrange Police Department recorded himself harmonizing all the parts of the National Anthem and then put them all together.
The clip was posted to the department's Facebook page. They described the little bit of July 4 inspiration from Sgt. Kirby a "Quarantine quartet."
It turns out Kirby is no stranger to music even before this video. The Lagrange News reports Kirby was a band director in Trenton and Lithia Springs before joining the department. The outlet reports he was pursuing a music composition degree at Georgia State University when he decided to change his career path.
But, as the video shows, eight-and-a-half years of teaching music definitely left its mark on this local officer.
And on Independence Day, he left his park on the community with a powerful - and very special - rendition of the national anthem.
