Guest Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 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 , 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apple Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TapestryMatt Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I think you're just trying to get the parents to cry! I remember collecting my son from his last ever pre-school session. It was hard enough without an emotional soundtrack! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
