Outside of yearbooks, the only thing you might possibly need to throw a great yearbook signing party is a solid playlist. Science tells us that music elevates our moods and we all know the right playlist elevates our moods. When it comes to a yearbook signing party, incorporating the right tunes can evoke nostalgia—we all have flashbacks when certain songs play in the car. (“Motownphilly” gets me every time.) Let’s create that same musical magic for yearbook memories.

How To Create My Own Playlist
You know your students best. If lines like “The highs and the lows, yes and the no’s; Only gonna make you strong; Yeah, bruh” don’t resonate with your students, I’ve got nothing for you create your own. All jokes aside, build your custom yearbook signing party playlist to reflect your school, your students, and the vibe you’re trying to create. Here are a few tips
- Select songs with positive messages.
- Use your yearbook theme as a guide.
- Avoid radio edits/clean versions. Our kids know what’s being bleeped out and will fill in the blank.
- For a throwback vibe, ask teachers for their “senior song.”
Adding music is an easy—and cheap—way to put a polished touch on a fun event.
