1999 Philadelphia Regional, the first 237 ever went to.

I remember cheering throughout practice rounds, finding out what an attenuator was and why it was important (and especially why it's best place isn't in the engineer's pocket), and that 47 is one heck of a puck-grabber. I have that machine whipping the puck across the field ingrained in my mind.

The next day I got yelled at by my director for ruining my voice for my part in Little Shop of Horrors, since the show was a mere days away. But it was worth it.

Years later I no longer do shows (or sing all that often, except in my car), I'm graduating from business school, and I still cheer in practice rounds. Go figure.
