Does anyone have any great ideas for an online extravaganza the actual day of graduation. Our graduation date is June 1 and I'd like to be ready to do something special and right now I'm brain dead. Thanks in advance

Richard, I'm in much the same circumstance you are. About a month ago I started a "Countdown to Graduation" (green-background box) halfway down on our home page. So there's sort of a build up to it but what to do then is still up in the air. Could have any of a number of .gif firework displays, cap-and-gown images, Playlist.com or similar playing Pomp and Circumstances. If any classmate's parents/relatives took movies, get them digitized and on YouTube. Regular pictures of the event should work as well. I have a slide.com show of all the classmates yearbook pictures also playing on my home page. There might be another format of this that superimposes a static cap w/ tassel on it. What memorabilia do you have from that day that you might integrate into this... Commencement Invitation, Commencement program, scan of a degree handed out then, scan of a tassel,... etc.? That's what comes off the top of my head. Hope others have more ideas. Jim

Here's a nice YouTube Video of Composer Edward Elgar conducting the familiar Pomp & Circumstance recorded in 1931 with a nice video. CLICK TO VIEW There are longer versions of the song on YouTube, but this is the familiar processional, recessional theme.
