Is it just me...
...or are people hopelessly tacky? Like at Sean's graduation last night people were asked not to hoot and holler when their child went up for their diploma. Did they listen? No, it was like a 'I can hoot and holler louder than you' contest. Some people even had air horns! The last graduation I attended, not being the graduate, was my younger brother's graduation in 1978. This one family there must have started the hoot and hollering through the decades tradition. So no one hoot and hollered when Sean went up to the podium, though his dad and grandfather were there and went and gave him a more private 'shout out'. So there! And we have some awesome photos of Sean too.

You know, we were talking about this on another board recently and a few people actually said they didn't care and when their child's name was called they had every right to make a lot of noise. Well, another person should have the right to actually hear her child's name being called, too.
This ranks up there with people at sporting events starting to holler before the National Anthem is finished. Very disrespectful.

The assistant principal read a long note about what to do to make it a nice graduation. She did say that if they made too much noise, the next person up may be affected. Thank goodness the principal paused a bit before reading the next name. I say to turn the volume up full blast.
Brian and his dad went up on a hill next to the podium near a roped up area and were able to get some nice shots.

Just so you know, the reason I deleted the original post is because I accidentally posted twice. I didn't write anything obscene and then think better of it LOL!
