<p>"I’m not sure I completely follow the OP’s post. Wasn’t her daughter a senior? Didn’t she have to be at the graduation anyway? "</p>
<p>The graduation started at 7. Kids in the choir had to be there at 5:15. Those in the “select” choir had to to be there 5:30. ( As a reminder, they had gotten home from Hawaaii late the night before; different time zone, hairdresser appoinments, skipping dinner with relatives who had travelled thousands of miles, but whatever ). She got there 5:30 and missed the choir rehearsal, but made the select rehearsal. Graduation opens with the “select” choir ( all seniors) singing from there senior spots. She sings along. Later, ( as rehearsed), the seniors in the choir goe to the stage to join the non seniors in the choir to sing; she misses/forgets the cue, and doesn’t go. They sing; she remains seated with the rest of the seniors. Gets 40 of 200 points ( partial credit) or an F.</p>
