We were also required to be at the school the following morning bright and early for graduation practice, which suuuucked.

I guess I was lucky: our Grad Nite was the actual night of our graduation.

We essnetially just got a printout with a timeline, instructions on where to be, and an admonishment to behave.

Yup. It was the kind of thing where everyone said "they wouldn't dare, f this, I'm not showing" and no one dared to stay away. This may be a false memory but I believe one kid didn't show up and he was not allowed to walk across the stage and had to do some summer school or something. I didn't know the guy so all I heard was rumor...

I remember this being a source of grumbling and rumors about our school not being big enough or rich enough to muscle into the appropriate night. I know DL has multiple Grad Nites, and it would be interesting to find out how they assign each school to each night.
