Our graduating class is 550 students, and we have it at the local community college's football stadium where we have our football games. The honor scholars (those with GPA's 4.0 and up) sit in the middle section in front.) Girls wear red robes, boys wear black. Absolutely no sandals, shorts, individual add-on's, writing on hats, etc.

As for gown extras...if you're in NHS, you get blue and gold cords and an extra blue and gold tassel. For California Scholarship Federation you can either get a gold stole or gold cords depending on how long you've been in it. French Honor Society Members get white cords. Honor scholars have a medallion on a white ribbon. Then 14 seniors got the principal's award which is a medallion on a red ribbon. I have all of those, yup all...and I tried it on and it looks really funny.

We have beachballs too and the administration always runs and grabs them, they get really mad. Another thing that seniors do is all have a marble with them. When we go to shake the superindents hand, they give them the marble so he keeps on accumulating them and has to try to discretely drop them on the ground next to him since he can't get to his pockets underneath the robe that he wears.
