With that many people a practice field could be built in an hour or two, plus the rush to Home Depot.

FIRST says the 3rd. But in Hawaii it's almost the day before.

Wow -- they're just going to have to sit on their hands and wait just like everyone else!

Our issues stem from a State Superintendent mandate that all travel involving public schools need to be at a minimum. We are now required to do an extra step of approval PRIOR to the normal process of completing travel documents.
Its not that hard to figure out now when "certain" events will be taking place. ...................Unofficially. My only concern earlier was kickoff, since that would have changed things.
