About

The biggest party a graduating class throws for itself.

It started as one dare: throw the graduation party a whole class actually wants, and turn it into a night that gives back. Not a show you buy a ticket to, the one your class builds, carried school to school by a student rep until a real venue is filled with the people you walked the stage with. Two years in, it only gets bigger, and the next one comes home to Dallas, Texas.

Word

The night, in their own words.

Graduating students on what the night means to them, in their own words.

    A monumental send-off

    Graduation night means moving on the next chapter of our lives, and moving away from home. Friends and siblings separating, living by yourself, and taking on a whole new level of responsibility. Having the Grad Concert as a send off into this big change is everything for us and it’s a monumental event in Dallas.
  • Ella StanzelClass of 2026

    Everything comes together

    Graduation night feels like a moment everything finally comes together. It’s a mix of celebrating how far we’ve come, saying goodbye to what we’ve known and stepping into something new with the people who made it all worth it.
