The smattering of raindrops that fell at Daniel Teicheira Memorial Stadium Friday didn’t do anything to dampen the spirts of the almost 350 graduating seniors of the Sierra High School Class of 2018. In fact, the unexpected weather – complete with dark clouds and overcast skies that made night seem to come much sooner than it did – created a backdrop that couldn’t have been more perfect to symbolize the completion of one chapter of the lives of the graduates and the start of another. As graduate Cameron Allen strapped his guitar over his shoulder and prepared to sing “Closing Curtail” – an original song he wrote about the end of their collective performance as high school students – he pointed out the rainbow that only grew larger as he performed to his fellow graduates and the thousands of people who packed into the stadium to watch.
