Recently I published a 7 part series on High School graduation party planning. I have had a few requests to publish the play lists from my last two children’s graduation parties. This is an addendum of sorts to the series. In my last post I published my daughter’s playlist here. Today I am publishing my youngest son’s party play list. You can find Part 1 of the series here, and Part 5, on creating a musical playlist here. My son graduated from High School in 2009, so we made a lot of updates from the 2007 list. But, there were also carryover songs. Once again, some of the hours had themes, and where there is a them, I tried to tell you what it was. Enjoy the list!
