Although I'm only halfway through my time on 1923, I've been going to events since I was really little, and I'm sure I'll have many more memorable FIRST moments-- but this one sticks out from the recent past: Monty Madness 2007.
You can read the full story
here, I'm not going to post it all again, but essentially, a team I've known since I was very young showed some fantastic gracious professionalism, and our team got the opportunity to play in the finals because of it. We didn't win, but I'm going to have to say it was just as good.
Oh, and our mentor won Woodie Flowers Jr at the same event. Having been the student that spoke to the judges and nominated him for it, I was so excited!
