Capitol Police halt children's choir rendition of national anthem.

The Rushingbrook Children's Choir from South Carolina was stopped by Capitol Police while singing the national anthem in the U.S. Capitol due to a miscommunication about permission for musical performances. The choir had approval from the House speaker, but police were unaware. The police initially claimed the performance was stopped because it might be found offensive, but later issued a statement apologizing for the miscommunication. Musical performances in the Capitol require permission, and demonstrations and musical performances are not allowed without proper approval.
