Re: Back to back regionals
2815 did back-to-back regionals twice in its history: 2009 (Bayou/Palmetto) and 2011 (Peachtree/Palmetto). Memory is hazy about the former, but in the latter the kids that needed to sit out one dance or the other simply didn't travel and that was that. I know it got rough on my vacation scheduling thanks to the way pay periods work where I work, and it is a little rough to work two or three days and then jet off again.
If it were the difference between attending one event or two, I'd say reach for it...but when you're going from two to three, I'd think long and hard about it.
