2. Write the note names on the staff

3.  Practice playing the songs as a group

“REACH” Grade 5 Ceremony song

Solo:   Some dreams live on in time forever

Those dreams you want with all your heart

And I’ll do whatever it takes

Follow through with the promise I made

Bridge:

Put it all on the line

What I hope for at last would be mine

Refrain: (all)

If I could reach higher

Just for one moment touch the sky

From that moment in my life

I’m gonna be stronger

Know that I’ve tried my very best

I’d put my spirit to the test

If I could reach

Solo 2:  Some days are meant to be remembered

Those days we rise above the stars

So I’ll go the distance this time

Seeing more the higher I climb

Bridge:

That the more I believe

All the more that this dream will be mine

Refrain: (all)

If I could reach higher

Just for one moment touch the sky

From that moment in my life

I’m gonna be stronger

Know that I’ve tried my very best

I’d put my spirit to the test

If I could reach

Down in the forest, deep in the low lands

My heart cries out for thee, hills of the north
