A similar situation happened to our team, but regarding the Kettering Rookie Competition this year: we had district large ensemble contests on the Friday of a Friday/Saturday competition in another state, and our director wouldn't excuse us to go to that (yet other things, such as vacations, are ok... but here's not the place). That left about half our team to go, without a programmer, as I am in band. Everyone boarded the bus to leave and then Friday morning, when they're all in Michigan, a snow storm hits; contest was cancelled, and, unfortunately, none of us could get to the competition... To make matters worse, I forgot to load the correct code onto the laptop they were taking for editing, and I accidentally sent the wrong code to them... needless to say, our coach (also a programming teacher) did lots of editing to the code.
