I have been working on a graduation program for our local homeschooling resource center. (This is the paper program that will be handed out.)
I'm trying to use less formal language than processional, recessional, etc.
I'd like to include on the program the music that will be playing before the formal program begins (i.e., the music that will be playing as the audience enters and gets seated). Any ideas?
"Prelude" is a little too formal.
"Coming together music" doesn't quite work to my ear.
"Gathering music" sounds a little off.
I'd appreciate hearing your ideas.
Also, in lieu of processional, I'm thinking of using "Entrance of the graduates". Ideas for a phrase to use as they depart would also be appreciated. "Departure of the graduates" or "Exit of the graduates" sounds so ... final. (I just may end up going with those formal terms after all!)
Regards,
Kareni
