The South Lakes band plays "Pomp and Circumstance" for the 2012 graduation

it is a tradition for the underclassmen and maybe other teachers to play "Pomp and Circumstance" each year at graduation. The 2012 graduation may be slightly different from the 2011 graduation in terms of how we hear "Pomp and Circumstance".

I graduate hs. next week and I hear my band practice this almost every time I walk past the room. I'm going to be the graduate that is crying!

[@asmokingdino]

Cierra Stading its not easy

[@jameslee6953]

it does bring out emotion. Very proud of you

[@TheSoftballstar1261]

I agree with Brandon. It's the HARDEST thing to do... saying goodbye to the school you knew for years! Congratulations!! I assume you have graduated from college now, if you attended college. How are you doing now?

[@DKennedy27]

I cried while getting my diploma 😂

[@DJBiv788]

I graduated about 17 years ago and this still brings tears somehow. I was fine at my actual graduation until the band’s musical selection, which I was in charge of conducting, voted by the band. Woodwinds started crying middle of the piece and that got me. If you’re watching this and are graduating in 2023, congratulations.

[@user-hh9jc9hs8f]

My life is going by so quickly I cant even enjoy my youth while its here Its so sad because I remember when I used to want to be older so that I could drive and get out of school but as I get older I realize that life after you graduate is not somewhere you want to be. For all the children still in school, lets just enjoy and embrace our youth to the fullest, because it wont be here forever🙌🙌

[@ShadowBones14]

Omg this song is so dear to me i love it, i graduated in June this year and i almost went into tears because i was so happy and my band played it so well it made me have a flashback of me playing it the last 3 years before my senior year. I'm gonna join my old band and play it again as an alumni.

Graduating from college next May, I am going to cry when I graduate! Already crying! Yes, Community College, I struggled in hs academically, so for me to graduate from community college is a big deal for me! I have special needs and graduating from ANY college is a big deal. I know, community college is nothing, unless you walk in my shoes, you won't understand. I was bullied growing up so graduating means that I have won over the bullies. I play(ed) the flute!!! *Update: I am now attending my local University (George Mason University) after SEVEN years as a Community College student. I LOVE MASON!!! I just transferred last Summer (2020)!!

[@mollyAllison10]

[@TheSoftballstar1261]

[@sactoindyfan]

My high school band has this arrangement as well. I played this piece in 1993-95 and was able to hear it at my commencement in 1996. Love this version! Brings back a lot of memories, mostly because we had to play it on average for about 12 mins because of the large graduating classes.

Can someone tell me where online to go purchase the full music and score for this...or just tell me the arranger

[@RyanRosario]

Clare Grundman is the arranger. It's perhaps the most popular arrangement of Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 used for high school graduations. The original Elgar version of March No. 1 only shares the main "chorus."

This song is so easy on trombone.
