If you receive "Classic Arts Showcase" TV channel, they sometimes post
video clips of "The Last Night of the Proms" at the Royal Albert Hall.
One of the performances is "Pomp and Circumstance." Americans know the
song as a solemn tune played at high school graduations. The Proms
version is quite different with singing, flag-waving and overall
exuberance.
