I agree with Andy, have fun with it. Unless of course, you're scared to death at being out there and saying the wrong thing and then a "yes thank you" would be acceptable. But from what I know of FIRST kids, bashfulness is not a common trait.
Heh, yeah I remember one of the regionals last year someone accidentally said "gracefully accepts" and we were all quietly snickering behind their back, picturing their team in tutus accepting the alliance. It really did annoy me though, when everyone says the same thing.
