Need song help

[disneylovinfamily]

I posted this on the scout thread too but I thought I would get more exposure here I am looking for help for songs . I am creating a photo show for my end of the year ceremony for my Daisy scouts and I need song advice. I want some tear jerkers about kids growing up and some fun songs too. Please give me some ideas!

I also need some more upbeat stuff. I am using girls just want to have funa nd I need a good patriotic song to go with pictures from our memorial day parade.

 

[jbm02]

Patriotic:
for upbeat: You're A Grand Old Flag
America - Neil Diamond
Only in America - Brooks and Dunn
and if you're in PA - Philadelphia Freedom (Elton John)

less upbeat: God Bless the USA/Proud to be an American (but love it!!)

Hope this helps

thanks jbm02! I know the songs but for some reason, I have been drawing a blank with this project! You all have helped me so much so far!

For an upbeat song, how about - "Do you believe in magic?"

(I'm not sure if that's the title or just the first line. - It was in the soundtrack to "The Parent Trap.")

OMG I just had a 70's flashback to when Shaun Cassidy remade this.

Friends are friends forever Michael W. Smith sorry a tearjerker. but what about "This one's for the girls" for a more upbeat song.

 

[disneylovinfamily]

your guys have had some really great suggestions! I love this ones for the girls! great one!

 

[disneylovinfamily]

I worked on my photoshow last night and it is looking really good so far. I think I need a few more suggestions if anyone has any. I hope all the parents will love this at our ceremony. My plan is to do one at the end of each girl scout year.
