National Team "Social"
What are they doing for the "Social" in Houston. Were is it and what are we going to do without music.:confused:
|
Dunno, but my guess would be the Six Flags there... there's a shuttle from the stadium to get there so it's probable that FIRST has booked the place.
|
If you take a look here you will read in the first paragraph what the team social for the Championship event is. They have not posted on other venues as to weather or not they are streamlined and what will be cut from the streamlined events.

It seems that the determination of which regionals will become "streamlined" depends on the number of students attending. So, maybe FIRST is shuttling money around a bit this season. But, with that said, I haven't the slightest idea whether highly attended regionals or smaller regionals would be chosen to have a social. More people results in higher cost, perhaps, but with a larger pay off? Who knows? |
National "Team Social"
Remember your team needs to purchase the "Hotel Packages" if you plan on attending any of the FIRST activities at Six Flags.
The only exception is if your team is from the "Greater Houston Area" So buy those packages - No Tickee, No Party |
I've got connections and I can tell you that FIRST isn't happy about the streaminlining. One thing I can tell, many regionals might dump the party and go with a cheeper social where drinks are served and music is played. This would allow other places to keep the video wall and their social.

That incident happened at a regional, not at nationals... |

Ms Moore is a professional musician, she came out and did a job which she was either asked or paid to do. Unlike much of the stuff people who post here listen to, apparently her music does fit the guidelines FIRST considers appropriate. Leave the poor girl alone, will you. Either that or start listening to music that has socially redeeming content. |

Anyway, back to the team social. What are everyone's feelings on having to have the hotel packages in order to get into the party? This is something our team is struggling with right now ... The cost of one of the packages will be, for us, about $4,000 more than what it would be if we stayed at a hotel of our choosing. Now, I do realize that the cost of the party (food, opening the park for FIRST, etc.) is covered in some of that $4,000 ... but it still seems a little much. What do you think? - Katie |
Buy those "Hotel Packages"

Even with the additional costs I'd be willing to bet a box of Crispy Creams that it is less expensive this year, than what you paid for the packages last year at WDW.:p |
:-(
we can't afford the package, which means there will be no team 21 at the social...
Maybe we could rent out a club or something? |

Oh, I misspoke before ... it will cost us $4,000 than what it did last year. It will be $5,500 more, than if we were to stay at the hotel of our choosing. Anyway, carry on! - Katie |

See you at the Nationals - hope you find me before Dave Lavery does - doing the Gila Dance makes you real hungry and since he's now an honorary "Gila" he was promised a lesson. And we ALL know how Dave loves those Crispy Cream Dounuts....:yikes: |

As for the lack of music, so what...it's still fun. There's plenty of music during the competitons, ( who cares if it's the same 9 songs over and over again ). |
