The NEW Apple Corps have many requirements for students to be able to attend competitions and participate on the team; most of them revolve around meeting grade requirements, attending meetings (especially during the build) and some mandatory fund-raising. This came about after the 2001 season, when we took 50 students to Nationals - crazy for us; we didn't have nearly enough for them to do, and many didn't do much on the team as it was! Honestly, it was hard to adjust to at first, but it showed who really was dedicated and who was just there for the "trip to Florida" (yes, that was some students' sole reason for being on the team.
)
