Seeking advice from high schools hosting district events
 
Greetings Mid-Atlantic District Region!

New England is the newest Region to adopt the District model, and our school is slated (90% certain at this point) to host one of next year's New England District competitions.

I would love to get in touch with mentors and coaches from high school teams that have hosted district events, because I have so many questions that only you could answer.

So, whoever has been part of the planning and execution of this unique "semi-hosting" of a district event, I'd be grateful if you could graciously drop me a PM, or respond here, or we can take it to email, whatever.

The first, most broad, question is: how much of the entire production is your school responsible for (including costs); and aside from food concessions, what other things can you do to turn this into a positive thing for the school and school district (we need to make this look good for our board of education--the final hurdle).

Plus, what would you warn us (the school) about beforehand.

Mega thanks in advance. I hope to hear from you. And pardon the same post appearing verbatim in the Michigan district forum!:o

Does the Mid-Atlantic Region count, too? ;) I put this out on the volunteer group.

Oops. When are we going to get the verbiage straightened out!

No, it's my bad. I think the first time I read it, I found the Michigan thread only, but didn't realize there was a MAR one (or that I'd replied to it, for that matter). :o

Anyway, you're posted to the group. I hope that helps reel some people in :)
