As high school graduation drew near, "Pomp And Circumstance" inevitably came to mind. One student in my class walked around on more than one occasion singing, "Pump up the circumstance. Pump up the circumstance," giving the title a decidedly modern (for the late '80s) feel. He had livened up a jazz band rehearsal by improvising lyrics and scatting throughout "C Jam Blues," so I would have expected no less.
How do students modernize "Pomp And Circumstance" today, I wonder?
