Class of 2015 ^ 9
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-to-be 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 Graduation March." Since 1905, it 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. Today it is rare to hear
"The Graduation March" played outside of commencement ceremonies.
Many graduates have fond memories of hearing
"Pomp and Circumstance" at their school commencement, even remembering the exact moment
they received their degrees. For those attending a
graduation ceremony in the near future, expect to
hear this powerful march.
How parents can simplify students’
transition to college life
College is the first taste of
true independence many young
students experience. Whereas
mom and dad were always
around to make sure kids were
out the door on time and homework was done, that safety blanket is no longer there once kids
move into their dorm rooms.
The transition to college
life can be exciting. But while
students typically welcome
that transition with open arms,
parents often worry about how
their children will handle their
suddenly more independent
life. Parents who want to help
their kids make as smooth a
transition to college life as
possible can take steps during
their children’s senior year of
high school to help them adjust
to their new surroundings and
responsibilities more easily.
s,ETKIDSFLYSOLOONSCHOOL
day mornings. New college
students have to make many
adjustments upon moving into
their dorms, and getting themselves out of bed each morning and off to class on time
is one such change. Parents
worried that their students will
sleep in when mom and dad
isn’t around to remind them to
wake up can start letting kids
fly solo on school day mornings during their final year
of high school. Let kids set
their alarms, prepare their own
breakfasts and get out the door
on time all on their own. By
the time their freshman year of
college arrives, kids will know
how to handle their mornings
by themselves.
s 4EACH KIDS HOW TO DEVELOP
budgets. Another problem many
first-year
college
students
encounter is an inability to
effectively manage their money.
Whether you plan to give kids
an allowance while they are in
school or intend for them to
work part-time for their spending money, use senior year of
high school as an opportunity
to show kids how to budget
their money. If they don’t have
accounts already, open bank
accounts in your youngster’s
name, and insist that he or
she start paying for his or her
expenses via these accounts.
Resist the urge to give high
school kids gas money or money
for shopping trips if they have
already spent their allowances
so they can learn how to effectively manage money between
paydays. In addition, teach kids
about the right and wrong ways
to use credit cards, including
the importance of paying balances in full and on time.
s ,ET KIDS HANDLE MORE STANdard responsibilities. Adults
tend to take more mundane
10 ^ Class of 2015
responsibilities like making
doctor’s appointments or grocery shopping for granted. But
kids likely have no idea how to
handle such tasks. Parents can
encourage their high school
seniors to make their own
medical appointments. In addition, take kids along on grocery
shopping trips, explaining how
to find sale items and which
foods to buy and which to
avoid. Nutrition is not always
foremost on the minds of college freshmen, but those who
understand the importance of
healthy diets are more likely to
buy nutritious meals than junk
food.
s %MPHASIZE TIME MANAGEment. Today’s high schoolers
are busier than ever before,
so many may already be prepared for the juggling act that
is college life. But college students have more free time than
their high school counterparts,
so parents can emphasize the
importance of managing that
free time wisely as opposed
to spending it lounging on the
couch or napping.
The transition from high
school to college can be both
exciting and difficult. But parents can get a head start on that
transition by encouraging their
youngsters to be more independent.
Congratulations and best
wishes to the Class of 2015!

Quotes
“You have brains in your head. You have
feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself
in any direction you choose. You’re on your
own. And you know what you know. You
are the guy who’ll decide where to go.”
- Dr. Seuss
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it
living someone else’s life. Don’t let the
noise of others’ opinions drown out your
own inner voice. And most important, have
the courage to follow your heart and
intuition.” - Steve Jobs
You get to make your own luck. 80%
of success in your career will come from
just showing up. The world is run by
those who show up…not those who wait
to be asked. – Steve Blank
“To those of you who received honors,
awards and distinctions, I say well done.
And to the C students, I say you too
may one day be president of the United
States.” - George W. Bush
“Twenty years from now you will be more
disappointed by the things that you didn’t
do than by the ones you did do, so throw
off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore, Dream, Discover.” -Mark Twain
