Graduated!!!

Graduation day for Kasi!! We headed to Brighthouse Field and arrived to about a zillion others (okay, that's an exageration) trying to find a parking place. And, of course, they charge you for parking at a baseball stadium! I guess it was $10 at Tropicana Field last year so we couldn't complain at the $5 fee. At least we got to park within walking distance -- relatively speaking!!

Kasi's name was in 'lights' ... as every other graduating senior's name was. The names scrolled on the scoreboard through the graduation ceremonies. Kasi is in Headliners, Osceola High School's show choir, so she was going between her seat with the graduates to the risers where the choir was to sing. She as well as about 10 other seniors. Some didn't seem to be paying too much attention so the director had to patiently wait for the stragglers to get into place.

They did okay in singing -- however, when you are outside and cannot hear the person next to you, you don't necessarily hear the person next to you. That made for a song in about three keys! The national anthem was one of those. "My Wish" was done well but I think they may have pre-taped it. They were on key and sounded like they typically do.

I do understand why Kasi was voted "Class Clown" by the senior class. Oh, my!! She doesn't mind making a fool out of herself although it wasn't anything too foolish. She's just very demonstrative and not afraid to throw her hands in the air after receiving her diploma. Of course, we probably all felt like doing the same thing with a great "Hurray!"

So ... here is a photo journal of that evening. It was a neat evening and as usual, there is emotion when you hear the opening bars of "Pomp and Circumstance"!! What a sight! Kasi saw us up in the stands and waved and yelled! What an evening!
