Change and progress of the world have an impact on the fading love of the motherland. Access to information and communication opens space for foreign cultures to enter freely. In this era of globalization, many young Indonesian citizens are more proud of foreign cultures and follow the lifestyles of other nations so that they forget the culture of their own people. Eventually they lost their love for the country. This study aims to analyze the process of strengthening the character of patriotism through singing national songs on the Harmony Choir extracurricular. This research uses descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The collection technique is done by observation, documentation study, literature study, and interview with the board and teacher of Extracurricular Harmony Choir. The results showed that the implementation of national singing activities could increase student nationalism and patriotism in schools. This is done through discipline and application of extracurricular regulations. This regulation is implemented with the aim of leading and creating outstanding students in terms of local culture through the development and preservation of national songs. National songs can be a medium to strengthening the nation's love for their country, because in national songs there are interesting values to be discussed in more detail.

“…National anthems have been a topic for sociological and cultural analyses, including interpretations / commentaries on their nationalism, family, sexism, suicide rates and others -with cross-cultural implications in several cases (Abril, 2012;Barnes, Pomerantz, & Yashko, 2016;Boufoy-Bastick, 2012;Gilboa & Bodner, 2009;Guerrini & Kennedy, 2009;Kelen, 2014Kelen, , 2015Kyridis et al, 2009;Lauenstein, Murer, Boos, & Reicher, 2015;Lester & Gunn, 2011;Liao, Zhang, & Zhang, 2012;Oluga, Seng, & Rajoo, 2016;Rodríguez, 2016;Siska, 2016;Sondermann, 2013;Vörös et al, 2016;Winstone & Witherspoon, 2016). Most such studies were, however, focused on a distinct theme and/or on a culturallylimited number of anthems.…”

National anthems are occasionally quoted, mostly based on anecdotal evidence or arguments, to be correlated with societal features. The present study aims to identify the pervasive topics in national anthems, and then to establish whether connections may be established between these topics and some basic societal features. Upon examination of ~200 anthems, such recurring themes were identified: ancestry/past, beauty, build/work, country name, courage, democracy, enemy, ethnicity, family, man, woman, fight, flag/colours, forever/never, future, geographical references, glory, independence/freedom, joy/happiness, home/mother/father-land, law/governance, leader, love, loyalty, peace, poverty/wealth, pride, religion, revolution, sacred, sacrifice, salvation, sorrow, treason, tyrant/chains, unity, win/victory. The number of topics, as well as their bias (e.g., towards identity, or towards fight, or towards general well-being), vary widely between anthems; groups of anthems may be identified based on these tendencies. Moreover, the number of topics, their bias, and/or the date of adoption can be proven to correlate to some extent to more general societal features such as date of adoption, age of country, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, Gini coefficient, size of armed forces, inequality, inequality-adjusted human development index, and a number of parameters from the World Values Survey (WVS) database (related to religion, gender equality, attitude towards other nationalities/races, attitude towards work, attachment to democratic values etc). This set of data and the herein identified correlations may offer grounds for further, more detailed exploration of a variety of correlations between societal features and official narratives, starting with the national anthems as prime example.
