The special is supposed to broadcast on a Detroit PBS station, but will simultaneously go live online (so I am told). Look for this later in May.

I would like to start with a congratulations to Debbie of team 1023 on her WFFA. 1023 has an exemplary program on and off the field, and I know she has had a huge impact on her students.
Congratulations to the event winners 469, 67, and 830. I was impressed with the versatillity you guys showed through the tournament. Congratulations to the Finalists 2054, 548, and 245. The film crew loved 548's arm and was rooting for you guys. Also, everyone wants to know what kind of Zip-ties 2054 has
.
Congratulations to 503 and 27 on well deserved Chairman's awards. I am continuously in awe of all that you guys do, and humbled to be in your company. To 1718, I don't know that there is a more appropriate EI winner. I know that I am inpired byt the work you guys do year in and out please keep it going.
3098, thank you for picking us, an 2137, thank you for playing with us. It was a fun run. I am sorry we were not more robust.
A huge thank you to the volunteers that make the event run so smoothly. I saw a lot of great mentors in volunteers shirts playing double duty during the weekend. Thank you to all of the inspectors for ensuring everyone made it out on the field in fair fashion.
I feel I need to make a special callout. They say actions speak louder than words, but I think some words are needed in this case. There was a team at MSC that didn't have a Chairman's booth, wasn't bragging about their efforts, but in my opinion embodied the true spirit of being a
role model team. This team was exemplary on the field while donating the large percentage of their mentors to run the event from technical field assistance to former students leading in inspection and mentor roles of other teams (these people are Dean's List quality before there was a Dean's List award). They have mentors taking pictures for all to enjoy. They had mentors assisting the film crew to ensure that the others will see what a great "sport of the mind" we participate in. Marjie, thank you for running such a great event. Gail, thank you for for your leadership in all that you do. Las Guerillas, thank you for the impact your organization has had on how FIRST is
done in Michigan.
