I'm guessing you will be singing
a capella, right? If the worst were to happen, you could always stop, take a deep breath, and say, "Forgive me, ladies and gentlemen, but I'm really nervous. Permit me to begin again, so that I may do justice to our national anthem." Channel The Joker and I guarantee people will cheer for you as you start over.
