I know it's not the most interesting topic.....but.....I need help picking music for our pinning.....What did you all have??
Please....any ideas will help....
We need music while guests are sitting...while we walk in..... and when we leave....
I was thinking of the theme to ROCKY or 2001 Space Odyssey while we walk in...... :confused:

When we walked in for our pinning we had "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"...can't remember what guy sings it, but it was the version that they played at the end of "You've Got Mail".
We had a very positive response from all our family, friends and faculty.
Best wishes~!
Thanks....Someone just gave us that suggestion today at school too!!

We walked into a piano only version of Elton john's "Goodbye yellow Brick Road"
Well, at least the us girls did, our guys walked in after us to "Eye of the Tiger" got a big laugh with that one.
We walked out to "New York New York" because of the line "I'm leaving today...."
Enya while people were getting seated, and we had a slide show of pictures through out time in the program that included Garth Brooks "the River" and openeing to Queen's "We are the Champions"
Good luck and congrats!
We only have 1 guy in our class so I'm not so sure that Eye of the Tiger will work....I definately like the enya idea while people are getting seated ....Thank you for all the ideas I really appreciate it!!!

They sang "you are my angel" at our pinning. But the one I loved was the year before us "Go light your world" by Kathy Trocoli. It is a christian song but you would really never know it. It was perfect!
There is a candle in every soul
Some brightly burning,
Some dark and cold
There is a spirit who brings a fire
Ignites a candle and makes his home
So carry your candle,
Run to the darkness
Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn
And hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle and go light your world
Frustrated brother,
See how he's tried to
Light his own candle some other way
See now your sister,
She's been robbed and lied to
Still holds a candle without a flame
Seek out the lonely,
The tired and worn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle
And go light your world
'Cause we are a family whose hearts are blazing
So let's raise our candles and light up the sky
Praying to our Father, "In the name of Jesus
Make us a beacon in darkest times!"
So carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the helpless, deceived and poor
That is a beautiful song...but I think we have to consider the multicultural and religious beliefs of everyone in the class....and I'm not so sure that everyone will feel the same way we do about the song....Thank you so much for taking the time to include the lyrics!!!
The class that uses this song pinned about 180 (State University) at their ceremony and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. They walked in to this song carrying candles (ala Florence Nightingale). Like I said before I think it has a double meaning and except for one line could be secular. Anyway.... just a suggestion.
