'God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet.' Congrats to our graduating class of 2010! Can't wait to hear 'Land of Hope and Glory' at a commencement ceremony as well as the Last Night of the BBC Proms.
@joannadavis1 probably for the same reason i am. whenever i hear this is reminds me of my high school graduation and some many friends that i might never see again.
If you think THAT'S bad, please keep in mind that the American National Anthem is a poem that was set to the tune of a drinking song from some Ivy-League fraternity. We have an interesting track record with music.
@scrye493 I love our national anthem, 'The Star-Spangled Banner'. I also love 'God Save the Queen', the national anthem of the United Kingdom, and 'O Canada', the national anthem of Canada.
I've always found the tradition of playing pomp and circumstance no. 1 at American graduations very strange though, as it was composed to celebrate British Imperialism!
i guess it is strange if you think about it. but on the other hand the british definitly felt proud when this song was played. and being that i am a class of 2008 highschool graduaet i can say that i felt vary proud walking to this song in my cap and gown. i guess it is just the feeling of accomplishment that the song gives off that makes it an on-going tradition.
YAY Class of 2012!! Can not wait..

it started as a kind of joke when an American Uni gave Elgar an Honourary Doctorate. As his most recent march, they played it. It caught on :P
