Re: How much does your school's general population care about your team?
At my school, Rufus King in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, our general student body doesn't know much about us. We (Team 1675) won the Midwest Regional in 2009 and we ended up getting a pep-rally for that. It was also a pep-rally for other things, amongst which was the chess team, so I think it was definitely the most nerdiest pep-rallies in our school's history.
Surprisingly, the other school that is affiliated with our team, Bradley Tech, does not have as much involvement or interest even though they are a technical school and many of their graduates go on to be engineers. I guess it just all depends on the school as well as the community and area that you live in. Since we are from a large city, we aren't as locally famous but we are trying to get FIRST out a lot more.
