Flinridge Prep graduation, June 5, 2011

 

Members of the Flintridge Preparatory Class of 2011 shared their experiences and future plans with me in five videos posted on La Cañada Patch.  I also spoke with an instructor who graduated from Prep in 2004 and Vassar in 2008.  The ceremony was held at Pasadena Civic Auditorium on a wet evening. This panorama is taken from the steps looking north to Paseo Colorado.

Covering two high school graduations (see St. Francis, below) brought me back to the four graduations I attended at John Muir HS as my four kids commenced their adult lives.

I apologize for the quality and size of the photo.  Blogger's resizing options don't seem to be working today!

St. Francis High School graduation, May 28

I covered the St. Francis High School Class of 2011 commencement ceremony for La Cañada Flintridge Patch.  It's an all-boys Catholic college preparatory school.  I got some neat interviews with some of the guys afterwards as well as the entire recessional.  No comment on my skills as a videographer, please!
