"Make It Loud" also seems somewhat misguided at this point-I love it as a rally cry for spreading the word of FIRST, but what is the point of it? Get celebrities mentioning FIRST? Get 'non-traditional' companies involved in FIRST? Tweet #MakeItLoud? It's a great phrase, but to me it just needs some direction.


*for the record I like this game
The entire Make it Loud portion of closing ceremonies was very cringeworthy.... I muted by live feed several times because of it. I'd much rather we have some video or information being played about all of the teams on Einstein and maybe presenting the alliances one at a time to hype the matches, instead of going between random song performances and disconnected awards presentations.

Also, I think the closing ceremonies this time took a similar amount of time to last years. I thought the whole point of moving the majority of awards to divisions was to reduce the closing ceremonies time?
