Re: Musical Number for Graduation

I played an unaccompanied improvisation on "America the Beautiful" at my High School graduation--wanted it to sound somewhere between Hendrix's Star Spangled Banner and a Miles Davis tune, but on clarinet. It went over well, but you've gotta know your audience...

Not sure if this is your thing, but definitely keep it festive/patriotic/graduation-y. Avoid variations on "We Don't Need No Education." (Not the right venue).
