The protocol is for everyone to remove their hat when their national anthem is played, or when you Another Country's anthem is played. Some exceptions apply - for example, a Sikh's turban or a Muslim's head scarf will likely be left on.

For men, a hat should be removed when you meet a lady and then left off for the rest of your life - nothing looks more ridiculous than a hat.

Would it be proper decorum for you to sing along with the person who sings the National Anthem?

In formal etiquette, a soloist in any situation should be able to put on the performance without having a chorus join from the audience. However, in large crowds like sporting events, you'd certainly hear people softly joining in. Partly, it's because the rules ARE confusing: Normally, not singing the anthem is a sign of disrespect, so should you sing the words along with the soloist or just listen? So, many people sort of do a mixture of mouthing the words or softly singing. Problem though, many people do not know the words to the National Anthem so people look disrespectful because they are not singing the true anthem.Similar confusion in the US about what situations of the anthem should you put your hand on your heart---- or is it not required? (Many people think just standing in a respectful manner with arms at your sides is okay.) And, of course, people still get confused about hats-- should you remove your hat/cap or not? (Yes.) Should women remove their hats? (Not if a fancy hat--different standards for men and women. But if a baseball cap on a woman, yes, remove it.)Rules used to be set in stone. We need to revive and brush the dust off our use of etiquette.
