At our team meeting last night we spent a few minutes talking about our experience at the KC Regional. Several parents commented on how wonderful the choir doing the national anthem was. They really appreciated it as a way to involve members of all teams, not just local teams, and it's not something we've seen at other regionals. Wonderful rendition with very limited time to practice--just another example of how talented these kids are!

One of the local teams had great support from their HS band on Saturday morning--having a rocking brass and drum section was awesome. We also commented on the number of younger kids on school field trips on Friday. Again, not something we've seen (or noticed) before but it was great to see these groups get a taste of the competition. Lots of great ideas on how to increase exposure to FIRST in different ways.
