Name Pronunciation

In an effort to enhance the graduation experience, MarchingOrder also allows you to submit a voice recording and phonetic spelling of your full name. Please speak slowly and review your recording for clarity. Name readers review the recordings before the ceremony but graduating students are encouraged to confirm pronunciation with the reader just prior to their name being announced on stage.

Pre-Ceremony Slideshow

We encourage graduating students to submit a personal message that will appear in a slideshow in the Convocation Hall prior to the ceremony. This makes for a keepsake for your class and friends and family – the audience loves seeing them!

Please remember this is a formal ceremony. We discourage you from using slang in your message; messages that contain derogatory and defamatory language will be removed from the slideshow.

Claiming Your Guest Tickets

Due to the size of the graduating class, we provide three (3) guest tickets to each graduate who RSVP’s to attend the ceremony. Note, children over the age of two require a ticket.

We live stream the event, so all guests who are not able to attend are able to watch their graduate cross the stage.
