Yes and no.
2815's long been a two-events-and-go-from-there team. Right now, that means six hotel nights (check in Wednesday night, check out Saturday), four days with a bus, and $9,000 in registration. We will write grants until our hands wear out, sweat and freeze selling programs at USC football games, cohost SCRIW (I don't walk the next day), and so on and so forth to be able to pull that off.
Okay, so being able to watch the game after we wrap up sales is kinda fun...and we wouldn't put on SCRIW if we didn't think it was worth it...but you get the idea. It's hard!
Were we in Michigan, we're down to two hotel nights (if that), four bus days (if that), and $5,000 in registration.
If our area had the team population (and density) to pull districts off, I'd be jumping on that train quickly!
