What Happens at a Dry Grad?
Since one of the goals of a dry grad is to provide graduates with an evening of exhilarating entertainment, the activities chosen are usually highly original, unusual, and compelling. Many organizers survey the senior class to find out what events and entertainment they would like to have at their party. However, some organizers like the idea of surprising the graduates; in that case, it can be helpful to look at what other dry grad events have done to excite and capture the imagination of their graduates. Some popular dry grad entertainment ideas include live music, photo booths, inflatable games (such as Obstacle Course, Gladiator Joust and Sumo Wrestling), swimming and other sports, magicians, fortune tellers or hypnotists.
Who Organizes the Dry Grad?
Dry grads require the energy and devotion of a core group of parent volunteers who do the overall planning and presentation of the party. While students, teacher advisors, and school administrators are the primary organizers of the formal graduation ceremony, it is parents who normally take responsibility for organizing a dry grad party. For the event itself, as many as 100 volunteers can be required to supervise partygoers, run and organize activities, and serve food.
What is the Dry Grad Planning Timeline?
As with any other big party, the sooner planning begins the better.
