Fark request - Dutchtown High graduation with a triage station

My daughter’s graduation was last night. Due to a chance of rain, they moved it to Lamar Dixon.
The kids were treated like shite, stand outside in polyester gowns for 30+ minutes (90+ deg), then go inside to the viewing room for an hour, in which the A/C was not on (110+ deg), then march around the cow palace, and sit in stale 90 deg air, no water, etc.
The first student passed out as the national anthem was being sung. Within the next 20 minutes, four more passed out, plus an older gentleman sitting near me. I think all said and done, there were probably 10 students passed out, wheeled or carried out (including the Valedictorian) There was an actual triage unit set up, and a line of ambulances show up.
Finally, the venue broke out bottles of waters and cups, so teachers were running around during the entire ceremony, passing out cups of water.
A few of the students that fell out were finally feeling well enough to walk across the stage (with assistance) at the end of the ceremony. The Valedictorian gave her brief speech at the end. A couple other speeches were cancelled.
They finally told the graduates to either unzip or remove their polyester gowns.
There is a super long topic on FB about this clusterfrick last night. There are some pissed off parents.
Can I get a header on the gif of “DTHS 2022” over the bonus stage header at the beginning, and maybe some purple caps and gowns on the people passing out?
