To all the Peachtree teams:

Thanks for competing at the Peachtree Regional, and making my first time as a FRC Master of Ceremonies an experience I want to come back to!

Ever since seeing Karthik & Dave V. doing regionals, it was something I wanted to try out and see if I could bring something to the FRC stage. I have no voice right now, and everything aches; but I'm proud and honored to serve as a representative of GeorgiaFIRST.

Special thanks go out to Tony; having you as a co-MC was amazing. Next year, more shenanigans all around. More water gun fights.

I've got to give another set of thanks towards the Game Announcer team of Roy & Megan. Roy gave me advice on keeping my voice up (and I failed miserably, unfortunately), and other things to be a great MC. And Megan, having a fellow mentor & friend as part of the MC/GA team was heartwarming to me.

And finally, thank you to the rest of the volunteers: the judges, referees, field crew, and the people behind the scenes.

Congrats to our winning alliance, 108/2283/1683; I was glad to have courtside access to those Finals matches, and honored to do your intros. And to our finalists, 3318/2974/4189, you made those matches truly interesting. The eliminations have to be my favorite part of this game.

2974, congrats on bringing a well-deserved Chairman's Award back to the EC, and to 79 for EI. Alex (2974) & Emily (2415), welcome to the Dean's List family.

And finally, to my own team, 1648. I'm glad I took the opportunity from Anupam, Sunny, & Mr. Nichols to come and be a mentor at Grady. You guys made me proud to be a member of the G3 mentor team; championship-caliber performance all around. No doubt that we'll get that blue banner next year.

Until next year (or GRITS), thanks for the memories & take care.

P.S.: Here's our water gun fight during Closing Ceremonies. It starts around the 11:03:46 mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFCyy...&feature=share
