Emotional ceremony
by Cjr on 2023-06-05Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - CalgaryMy sons grad...very emotional and the only negative i would have is....it was very crowded after and many grads and parents took a long time to find each other!

It was a great event. Everything seemed to run smoothly. The kids had a great time and all the adults were so proud of our graduates! Thanks for making it a special day!
Excellent location! Lots of space to host a large crowd. Great sound quality! Thank you for providing a great experience for this important, graduation milestone.
Nice place for events and parking was good too. First tine to attend graduation ceremony and it was all good.
Students were all well behaved,guest were warmly received and attended too. Everything was on point....the game changer for me was the live streaming. I want to give a 💯 percent.
Not easy recognizing 671 students for their hard work but they did it. Live stream was great for friends/family that couldn't attend. One suggestion: big screen tv would help especially for those participants in the back of the jub.
My grandmother was sick and had to watch my graduation online. She said that they could not hear the music when it was being played, but could hear the speakers also the students and anybody’s hair colour was either red or black and the photographer where he had placed his big camera light, and where the view for the online viewing, was in the same direction, and therefore the people who were shaking his hand, you could not see past the camera for the photographer. Every once in a while, he said you could catch a glimpse of the student, but a good majority of the time all you could see was the camera umbrella
My Grandson was one of 300+ to Graduate. My seat was excellent. Felt like I had a private box as I was on the edge of the first balcony to the left. I could steady my video on the balcony wall edge. Made filming way easier.
I am VERY upset that due to a employee at the auditorium trying to get ahold of a person in our row of seats to turn off their flash on their camera He got in my way and completely infront of me, trying to grab at the person he was after and would not move. so I never got to see my son walk the stage nor record it, as it was his turn to do so when the employee started this. Of which he could also see us cheering and calling my sons name out. Needless to say I’m ENRAGED at this. I can’t get that moment back. All due to an employee and a person who can’t be bothered to listen about their camera equipment. Utterly pathetic. Was a complete waste of time going.
Found it a little long, and the parking was not that great, the end speaker seemed nice but i feel he sent a message for kids who could only afford any kind of schooling after high school, and the indigenous stuff we weren't sure what that was all about, seemed out of place for a public school graduation, and we had belcony seats, very disappointed on just how dirty things were, so much dust on the overhead lights we could smell it, the Jubilee was always nice, not sure what happened, other then that, we enjoyed ourselves very much, hope to see improvements for next year. Thank you.
