Hee hee. We sang that at my school's graduation last year! Sadly, I am graduating this year and we have the stupidest (is that a word or am I just stupid for asking if that is a word?) senior song, for both the class and my chorus. They will still grow on me, nonetheless.

Last year at graduation they did "Seasons of Love." Not really about graduating or anything, but it worked really well.

seasons of love is good, um, last year we sang "i move on" the original song in the chicago movie. also "here comes the sun", the beatles song.

"Make our Garden Grow" from Candide. Jeepers that is so hauntingly amazing and powerful

as long as its not vitamin c's or green day's song. ARGH.

perhaps No One is Alone (into the woods, of course)?

that could work

Although the vocal book for Wicked is being delayed, they are sending out emergency copies of "For Good" for graduations. Musicalschwartz.com is the way to go for that.

Part of me is rooting for the non-musical songs "I Try" by Macy Gray or "Here's to the Night" by Eve 6

(for laughs only, I must make the suggestion of "The Suncreen Song" by Baz Luhrman)

Before I Gaze at You Again (Camelot)
Make Our Garden Grow (Candide)
You'll Never Walk Alone (Carousel)
Seasons of Love (Rent)
Climb Every Mountain (Sound of Music)
For Good (Wicked)


and just for kicks,

We Go Together (Grease)

I think that for now, the best choice is FOR NOW from Avenue Q.

But only for now.

I would have suggested "This is the moment"-Jeckyll and Hyde (it's my personal grad. song) but someone beat me to it!

Alternatively - The Impossible Dream (Man of la Mancha)

Ok. 2 non-b'way thoughts
These Are Days - 10,000 Maniacs (Natalie Merchant)
The Sweetest Days - Vanessa Williams
This Is The Night - Clay Aiken
You Lift Me Up - Josh Groban

My fifth graders are singing "For Good" from WICKED. As said in an earlier post, just e-mail [e-mail], and she'll send you a copy. The first copy I got wasn't legible, so they sent another.

MusiPos2-By the way, do you know Estelle pace or are you her?

I thought
HUMAN HEART is a wonderful song.....

"We'll Never Say Goodbye" from the movie Sing soundtrack. Not a popular movie from 1989, but I get chills everytime I hear that song and wish it was written before I graduated from High-School.

Last night on American Idol, they did a great rendition of "Impossible Dream" from Man of La Mancha. I say go with something like that...it would be really memorable.

In Our Hands- SMILE
"To everything there is a season we know, a time to live and then a time to let go...In our hands, we take this earth and make this turning earth our own. And yes we are your children, be proud how well we've grown. Release our hands watch us stand alone."

Don't about finding the music though.

We're Gonna Make it After All -- Leader of the Pack. INCREDIBLE SONG.

[Broadway Matt]

hehe at my graduation my choir sang Seasons of Love as well...I had the pleasure of cracking on the high note of the guy solo in front of thousands of people. it was awesome.

as far as what I think would be good-

SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD title song

or

OUR TIME from Merrily! How perfect is that?

I agree with everyone's comments about "For Good" from "Wicked." I just re-read the lyrics and it's a very fitting song. "No One Is Alone" is also a good pick. It has just the right balance of melancholia and hope. My own graduation song was "In My Life" by the Beatles. And I realize this one isn't Broadway, but if you want a surefire sob-fest song, try "Saying Goodbye" from "The Muppets Take Manhattan."
