I think FIRST should reconsider the dates for the 3 regionals on Easter Weekend. There are two weeks before the Nationals that are vacated.
Our School Bob Jones High School rescheduled the Prom one year so that our seniors could attend the FIRST Nationals in Orlando. It just so happened that the date (rescheduled date) for the Prom was Good Friday. This made the USA Today and it wasn't positive PR.
I don't think FIRST needs nor wants negative publicity.
My vote is not to have any type of FIRST events on this Holiday, especially now when our Nation is in it's hour of prayer.
Our team does have members that this would effect.
We would dearly love to go to St. Louis this year it's the first time we have had a regional that isn't 12 hours away from us, but it's Easter weekend.
