Tomorrow: Commencement!
So tomorrow is graduation . . . today was our rehearsal at Sun Devil Stadium in my hometown of Tempe, Ariz. And as if this weren’t cool enough, I was fortunate enough to receive an award which will put me in the seat pictured below about four seats from the left in the first row. I may not be shaking President Obama’s hand tomorrow, but at least I get to be front row.
Students at rehearsal listen to instructions
For some interesting numbers get this

We arrive tomorrow at 3:30pm and Obama is scheduled to speak nearly 5 hours later at 8:00pm
The big stage!
And my dad all tuckered out
