Marching To Pomp And Circumstance

Summer is almost here and college and high school graduations are almost upon us. Caps and gowns have been ordered and invitations are being given to the students for their friends and families. For a lot of teenagers this is the last time they will see their friends. Saying good-bye as they each enter the adult life. Some will go on to their first college and those who are graduating from college will go on to their first jobs. Many will begin families. While other's will join the military and see the world. To look up your friends that have already graduated see the link below.

Most of these graduates will march down to pick up their diploma's to the music of "Pomp And Circumstance." Listed below is a link to some of the background to this historical melody.

Graduation is a time of gift giving. This is when some parents give their young adult their first car. In my family when my sons graduated they received the money that their father had been saving for them since they were children. However, not every family has these same privileges. So there are other gifts for the graduate that aren't quite as expensive.
