Jun. 1st, 2015 12:03 pmDaBoy graduated from high school yesterday. It was a typical high school graduation. The combined bands & orchestras (minus the seniors) played the march from Pomp & Circumstance 25 times -- they play 24 measures over and over so all the seniors process to the recognisable part of it. (The record was 38, the year before SR graduated. When she graduated, they only played it 37 times, despite her class having about 10-15 more students --there were enough musicians in her class that they processed as quickly as they could* to minimise the number of repeats.) The class flower was snapdragon, and every senior had a spear of snapdragon to carry.
At the Theatre Banquet on Thursday, DB got "Guildee of the Year". The producers and directors of all three plays got together and nominated their top two Guildees for each show, and when he was nominated by all of them.... He also earned a varsity letter for theater (to go with his band letter). DB was barely at the banquet -- he showed up long enough to do a scene from Much Ado and grab some food, and then went back to work on the Ballet Chelsea recital.
