I suppose this is more of a curiosity question. Before any major events (ie - LDRS, BALLS, NARAM, etc.), do the event coordinators make a provision for the National Anthem to play over the PA before the day is kicked off? I suppose it isn't such a terrible thing if it isn't done, but I could certainly see where showing a bit of patriotism (and/or a moment of silence) prior to the festivities kicking off would lend more credibility to the people engaged in those activities. Besides, most major sporting events kick off the competition with this brief patriotic reflection. I am also of the type that associates these types of acts with people that have a sense of class.
Like I mentioned previously, no harm or ill feelings towards any organization that doesn't. I just think it would be "neat" or "cool" to be doing this in a ritualistic sense.
