(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!

Good luck this season at Lone Star.
We had a great time last year in large part due to the friendly atmosphere and the overall competitiveness of the local teams there.
The one thing you will find when attending a mainland regional, is that each and every one will definitely have a different feel than the Hawaii one......and making eliminations is that much tougher as well.
