Baile de Egresados

Instead of a graduation ceremony, their was a graduation dance or party.  The students dressed very similar to prom and walk through the crowd of parents and friends like a fashion show. The first time was with a parent or sibling and the second time is with friends from class.  Afterwards there was a dinner for the kids which was just a sandwich and at about 2 in the morning there was a toast.  By that point most of the parents had already left the dance (it was uncomfortably hot and crowded so I don't blame them at all)  Afterwards, it basically turned into a club and lots of other community members and kids came to dance until about 5 a.m.   I was fortunate to get cider in my eye when multiple students started throwing the alcohol in the air during the toast.  Despite cider in my eye and feeling exhausted by the end it was a fun last night with all the students from my class and my friends to celebrate the end of their secondary school career.
