Good song for photographic presentation for school leavers?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi everybody

 

I am currently working on a photographic presentation of the children leaving school (photos taken over the last term) The presentation will be taking place while parents are arriving for our farewell gathering. I am looking for a song to play in the background that will have meaning for our families and children. My colleague and I were thinking (Proud - MPeople/Heather Small) however, we are a little older than many of our families :D , and I am worried this may not mean as much to our parents if they do not know the song! Does anybody have any suggestions of a song or 2 that may be a little more current.

 

Thank you

Mel

It's not current but has a lovely sentiment - Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bochelli's Time to Say Goodbye

or The Spice Girls - Goodbye my Friend

both will get them reaching for the hankies! Also Take That's Never Forget Where you're Coming from
