How many parents/relatives/friends of the graduates would be bumped. I mean, the SS doesn't typically take up seating, nor does the FLOTUS' entourage ... unless some of those parents/relatives/friends thought they'd be sitting on the stage.

Further, I'm pretty certain, if not Michelle Obama, the graduates (and their families/friends) will have/expect some commencement speaker ... I wonder who they would want that will strike the "Be interesting/Don't Out-shine the graduate" balance?
