Pomp and Circumstance - Central De Witt High School

Raymond's Graduation - 052216

[@JewelBlueIbanez]

I had to play this for 25 minutes straight for graduation. Class of over 200 students and each entered in by twos from the side of the stage and walked down into the seating area.

[@RdAudi]

Same man but I had to play for like 800 something or more seniors for about half an hour

[@SantanaCampbell]

I walked to the seating area of my high school graduation in 2010.

Land of hope and glory, Mother of the free. How shall we extoll thee, Who are born of thee. Wider still and wider, Shall thy bounds be set. God, who made thee mighty, Make thee mightier yet. God, who made thee mighty, Make thee mightier yet!

That chime is really throwing me off there. I haven’t heard a band play pomp with chime.

[@bryantempleton2836]

It’s in the music score but is rarely used

[@JTC2227]

If my band has to do this, i will barely make it ghrew because i barley coupd have made it threw our homecoming song that had so many repeats on it and stuff and like this song sounds just as bad as homecoming so yay, maybe my school doesnt do this

[@katiegriffin9354]

The songs actually called land of hope and glory

[@gustavvson]

It was originally called Pomp and Circumstance but land of hope and glory used the same melody

[@carwashslayer4235]

@@gustavvson Feel free to sing along while the band is playing everyone, Land of hope and glory, mother of the free, how shall we extol thee? Who were born of thee? Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set. God who make thee mightier make thee mightier yet. I love this song and it's unique history.

No, it is not. Watch this kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmGVZWWve7CFprc

[@bryantempleton2836]

No land of hope and glory is an adaptation of Pomp and circumstance with lyrics

[@carwashslayer4235]

@@bryantempleton2836 The original song is called Land of hope and glory. Pomp and circumstance is a bunch of military marches composed by Edward Elgar. I would know since I did research and graduated in 2018. Our hs wind ensemble played this version.
