With President Barack Obama giving the commencement speech, not everyone at Kalamazoo Central High School’s graduation ceremony was paying rapt attention.

At least one member of a student choir sitting behind Obama’s left shoulder during Monday’s speech appeared to be having serious trouble staying awake.

There's even a Facebook Page about it.

A video shows the student yawning and fighting to stay alert. At one point, the student leans back, only to jump alert and join in during applause. The student then leans forward and appears to nod off.

Obama gave a speech for Kalamazoo Central’s commencement because the school won the Race to the Top Commencement Challenge competition.
