Our band doesn't play at my elementary school's graduation.
At my graduation last month, we sang "We Go Together" from Grease.
We didn't have instruments at our graduation.

Canon and Gigue! : D
It really is a beautiful song when played to it's fullest potential. Most people will just think it's Vitamin C >_>
Kind of overplayed, maybe? But it's still an amazing peice.

Quote: another one of our favorites is an american elegy, and there's a trombone solo for 3rd...which is what i play >.< really makes me mad! We played that last year at one of our concerts. Half the band cried the first time we played it (sightreading). But I played the bassoon part, so I don't know your part so well. We play Pomp and Circumstances, Fanfare and Processional, the 3rd movement of the Carmen Opera, and another piece I forget. I really really really really dislike Pomp and Circumstances.

In high school, we played the usual - Pomp and Circumstance, Star Spangled Banner, a symphonic band piece the seniors would vote on, our Alma Mater, and Music for a Ceremony for recessional.
In college, our graduations were held in the stadium. So while the crowds gathered - 20,000+ people, and I'm NOT KIDDING - we played a 20-30 minute set - a "pre-processional" if you will. This consisted of easy concert band music that made us sound good. Then it was Pomp and Circumstance and Pagentry. What made P & C SLIGHTLY cooler in college was, yes, we played the typical (kill me now) melody but we also played the hard part NO ONE ever plays. If you ever hear the full version of P & C (by Elgar, I believe), the beginning part is sooooo awesome. For recessional, we'd play Festival Prelude and some other piece by Alfred Reed.
So there's my life story. redface

The band at my old elementary school played Pomp and Circumstance and The Star Spangled Banner for the 6th graders going to middle school.

Yep, Pomp and Circumstance.
But I'm surprised we're not the only ones who do American Elegy -- we thought our director was crazy, cause we figure that it's kind of inappropriate to play something that's that intense and written for a specific (terribly depressing) occassion
