Because of the timing this year, we are having a hard time getting students excused from school. AP exams begin the following week, and teachers, parents, and the students are having reservations about missing the review. I wish that FIRST would keep the focus on them, but I agree with the poster above who said that the focus seems to be changing. It's too bad, because the kids put time into it for the payoff of the matches, not a concert.
