<p>S’s grad. was yesterday. The senior choir members performed the Star Spangled Banner at the beginning of the ceremony. Then later in the ceremony, they left their seats with the other grads. and sang again with the rest of the choir. When the sch. band performed, the band seniors left their seats and went to play with the band. It’s always been done that way at our school. </p>
<p>I know it counts for a grade because my neighbor was fuming about her soph. D having to go play( and Mom ferry her back and forth),ruining weekend plans for them. She had planned to just skip it until she learned it was for a grade. That prob. happens a lot which is why they tied the grade to it.</p>
