We are excited! We'll also bring some shell leis, macadamia nut chocolates, and other Hawaiian goodies! ALLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOHA!:D
We may do NJ during week 1 again, or some other nearby regional during either week 1 or week 3?? Florida will probably be closed during second regional signup.......:(

I sat and had a nice conversation with someone from your team in San Jose 2001 and ended up with a pineapple. It made my day, and those of the people I was staying with! :D

Week three is close by in Annapolis, MD at the United States Naval Academy. It is a lovely venue and a easy bus trip, which happens to go through Washington DC, which would make a great day or two stop if you will be staying out on the East Coast for the two regionals.

Week 2 isn't the best for Virginians either. It is the same weekend as the state Concert Festival. I know i have at least 50% of my students in the band. I really wish they would take other statewide events into account before setting the dates.

Re: 2008 NASA/VCU Regional
 

Did you consider that they have to organize 40 events over 6 weeks? Trucks need to carry the field from one venue to the next, and these venues are not easy to schedule either.

Now, 50 states and multiple countries worth of events too? Come on.

Scheduling issues like this pale in comparison to what I'm dealing with on all the things I'm doing. :ahh:

Unfortunately Metal in Motion will not be able to attend this year. Have a great regional, I know I'll be watching via the web.:yikes:

Re: 2008 NASA/VCU Regional
 

No, it's the same weekend as some DISTRICT concert festivals. Not every district has it the same weekend. This is far from the first time this has happened.

We'll be going to VCU again this year, not like it's all that unusual, we've been going to VCU every year since the team started. Hopefully this year we'll get the arm working before our last two qualifiers...

Re: 2008 NASA/VCU Regional
 

maybe we won't need arms :-)

Re: 2008 NASA/VCU Regional
 

LOL!! I might have met you then as I faintly remember helping pass out pineapples then. Looks like we are going to try and bring pineapples again now. Need to talk to Dole Plantation again...:D

Re: 2008 NASA/VCU Regional
