(pant, gasp)

In the end, we chose Lone Star!

This is the very first time that our team has ever traveled to a competition outside of Hawaii. Though we've never missed eliminations at the Hawaii regional (we have a long history of losing to 359 in semifinals), we've never before attended Worlds, any offseason events or even another regional. We're excited to be representing the 50th state at Lone Star and hope that you all (y'all?) are as excited for the competition as us!
You picked a great regional to come to as your first venture away from home. We're excited to have another team coming from the islands this year. Let us know if there is anything we can do to make the trip easier for you, always happy to help.
