Actually the cost of traveling down state just 2 times for us, cost more than attending the 2 closest regionals. Coach buses are not cheap, the trip to Traverse City district(which was the closest) was an ~8 hour drive and cost us $2,500 or so for busing and another $800 or so for the hotel there. Also being so far away the added savings of an extra day didn't happen for us(district events were only 2 days comps). We still had to get there a day early and leave a day later, we couldn't just drive to the venue each day and sleep in our own beds like 90% of the teams got to, if they planned their events correctly.
