That's what my high school and college did. They would say 'Amy So and So' and then she would walk across the stage, get the diploma, do the handshake, pose, and go down the steps. By that point the clapping/yelling was done, so they'd then move on to 'Bob Sorrysoandso' and his family had time to do their thing.
