Yes, go either way. There are some relevant facts that I am unaware of regarding this particular instance. The closest thing regarding a case similar to this was the US District Court decision, O.T. v. Frenchtown Elementary School District Board of Education. The Court ruled that a school violated a student's First Amendment rights by prohibiting her from singing "Awesome God" at a school talent show. The Court decided that, because the talent show was voluntary and occurred after school hours on a Friday night, it was abundantly clear that the school did not endorse the song. If the case Marcio referenced was similar to this, then it would be acceptable for the girl to sing Amazing Grace. Had the talent show been a requirement and occurred during school hours, the outcome would most likely be different.
