The Rose - Bette Midler

I think I heard it on a CD that the chapter got from Nationals. Not 100% sure but you can check on that.

It is a really beautiful song. We sing it for the Pref Ceremony.

Jaime from West GA does an acoustic version of it on her guitar....it's fantastic!! I have her email if you want it....I could also track her down very easily (she made me a "Jaime & Amie" club member a couple recruitments ago! HAHA! LOVE those girls!).

yes please. if you can get a copy on cd, or mp3 or something, I would really appreciate it.

Lord, I need to find someone who knows hoow to splice songs together - i cant have 4 songs at 4 or 5 minutes each for this slide show....geesh.

there are a couple of free porgrams you can use online (or at least have a free trial of). The Adobe Audition is what I reccommend, or if you have/ have access to a MAC, use Garage Band. Free trial of Audition and then go to the box on the right titled "Next Steps" and click "Try Now." That should be good for a few weeks, you have to register, and figure everything out, but it's worth it.

awesome! Thank you, I'll definitely have to do that once I have a copy of all the songs. So far I'm thinking:

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
DJ Scrill "Ride with Me" (AZD version)
This Ones for the Girls (Martina McBride)
The Rose.

I'm not sure what order, or if I'll change/add more songs. I kinda wanna end it on an emotional note (like the rose) but I'm not sure if a "fun" note would be more appropriate. Hmmm.

We used the Martina mcbride song too, it was a big hit. Do you have a part of the slide show dedicated to philanthropy? If so, we used the acoustic version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (Listen here).
