The camaraderie in districts is real, though. I know everybody a lot better than when I was in Indiana pre-district. Many of our students make great friends with other teams at the competitions.

I am very glad to hear that. For the record, I met a lot of very nice people from both of those regions, and I hope it doesn't come across as me "calling out" MAR and New England, but the discussions I had those years were distinctly different than those I had with Indiana and PNW folks.
