We are taking 38 people all together. But we have our own bus so we don't need transportation. We do our own meals on the bus it has tables and supplies to fix meals. We got rooms at a nice hotel for $52.00 per person for three nights. so hotels are a total with tax of $ 2950 for 14 rooms We can do meals for about $900 total $3850. Meeting place cost $9500 Difference $5680 and all we get for that money is the two parties at Six flags so figure $5680 between the 38 people and its $150 per person for two parties at Six flags. In the reply from FIRST it says "unfortunately some teams choose not to use the Meeting Place" This is not a choice of using the Meeting Place or not. Its a choice of going to Nat's. or not. We chose to go to Nat's. for the competition in the spirit FIRST intended and if we have to be excluded from the FIRST socials to to so.... so be it. Its there lose we are darn good dancers and social type people. Our mentors will make arrangements for us to have a party but we will miss being with everyone.
