We're... cautiously excited?
I know feedback has been positive from all the areas that have gone to districts. A lot of it sounds good on paper. Cheaper fees. (And fees in Canadian dollars will help a lot with currency fluctuations.) Same great regionals that we know and love plus a few more. Personally I'm hoping for a new district event closer to Kingston or Ottawa...
District Championships can be seen as an added "hurdle" between here and Worlds, but at the same time, being able to say "We made it to the provincials!" isn't anything to sneeze at either.
