GRADUATION 2013 - 21
‘Pomp and Circumstance’ When asked to list renowned classical composers, Mozart or Beethoven may come to mind. Many people may not think to mention Edward Elgar. But there's an excellent chance thousands of people are very familiar with the most famous work by Elgar. "Pomp and Circumstance" is undoubtedly Elgar's biggest claim to fame. It has become the standard to which many soon-tobe graduates proceed into their graduation ceremonies, both in high school and college. As such, it has become one of the most recognized concert marches.
The song — the trio section of the first march in a series written by Elgar -- was not written with the intention of being a graduation processional. Elgar built up his reputation as a composer of works for great choral festivals throughout England. In 1901, Elgar began composing five marches that would be named "Pomp and Circumstance Marches." He is perhaps best known for the first of the marches, which went on to be simply named, "Pomp and Circumstance," or "The
G r a d u a t i o n it is rare to hear "The Graduation March." Since March" played outside of com1905, it mencement ceremonies. has been use at virtually all high school and university graduations in America. The first time "Pomp and Circumstance" was played in a graduation setting was when Elgar received an honorary Doctorate from Yale University in 1905. At the end of the ceremony, the march was performed as recessional music. It was so well received that it was soon expected to be played during graduation ceremonies at many other prominent schools.

Great gifts for graduates Students work hard on home-
work and various other projects during the course of their academic career. For those about to graduate, some potentially lifechanging decisions await and students have the opportunity to graduate to a new stage in life. Many families celebrate graduation with a party for the guest of honor, who is presented with a variety gifts during the festivities. Gifts are often chosen on the personality and interests of the graduate. If he or she has been voted most likely to travel or most likely to be a company CEO, there may be gifts tailor-made for those pursuits.
All-Star Athlete
If your guy or girl took home
more trophies and sports-related awards than you can count, a sporty gift may be just what is needed. Plan a day when you can take your graduate to a sporting event of his or her choosing. You may be able to take in a home game of a favorite team or fly to a playoff game. Sports enthusiasts who attend many games may enjoy receiving a ticket stub diary, where they can scrapbook their photos and memories of different games throughout the year.
Travel Bug
Perhaps your graduate has a
love for travel and plans on seeing the world before starting a job or furthering his or her academic career. A new set of luggage might be the right fit. If not, con-
sider a subscription to a travel magazine or some books about specific destinations he or she has admired or would like to one day visit. Think about ordering a personalized passport cover and a traveler's journal for documenting all ports of call.
Future CEO
Some students just seem des-
tined for corporate success. Help pave the way with gifts that befit a CEO. Many mergers and acquisitions are made out on the golf course, so having the skills of the game is a necessity. Golf lessons with a PGApro or a membership to a golf course is a great place to start. Students who want to make a good first impression can benefit from a personalized leather portfolio for keeping resumes at the ready. Business cards printed with contact information can be handed out at networking events and job fairs.
Financial Maven
A student who excels in finance
and has built a sizable nest egg may appreciate a gift of green. Purchase stock in his or her name, or open up a savings or credit account that can be used for school expenses. Monetary gifts never go out of style and could set a graduate on a course for success.
Philanthropist
If your student has been participating in a cause from as early as you can remember, a philanthropic
gift could be a nice touch for graduation. Make a donation in his or her name to a charity of his or her choosing. If you prefer to spread good will together, schedule volunteer time at a community center, hospital or disaster relief organization or enroll in programs that can use volunteers.
Career Person
A graduate ready to begin his
or her career may need a few resources to get started. A savvy business wardrobe can help make a good first impression. Gift cards to stores that carry professional wardrobes will benefit those grads who may not have the budget to stock their wardrobes with career essentials. Purchasing a bus pass or a gift toward commuting costs can be another way to offer a careerrelated gift.
Stress Relief
Few graduates will scoff at the idea of relaxing before a new stage of their life sets in. There are several gift ideas that can help a graduate kick back and relax and wash away memories of stressful exams or school applications. A gift certificate to a spa center that offers facials and massages would prove a relaxing gift. Some graduates may unwind through exercise, so a new piece of exercise equipment or membership to a local gym would be thoughtful. Tickets to a concert or theater performance could be a relaxing and entertaining way to unwind after the hustle and bustle of graduation.
