missing prom for nationals (was: *?*!*)

[JulieB]

Its final im missing PROM for nationals.

[Katy]

*is of the first response: "You're going to Championships? LUCKY!"*

Are you disappointed at all?

I'd definitly miss my prom for robotics too though. No question.

[Arefin Bari]

Lets see...

Prom... one time during your senior year, for some its only one time during high school.

Robotics... you see and meet a lot of new people. You learn a lot. You see your friends who you don't see on a daily basis. How can you miss nationals? I would go crazy if I missed nationals.

I would choose Robotics over prom anyday.

yea we were talking about this on the way back from peachtree yesterday. if i had to miss prom or grad night or ANYTHING actually...i would do it. anything for nats

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

Prom? What is this "prom" you speak of?

Oh!!! The night I leave for International Science Fair?
HA!



Prom isn't that big a deal unless you let it be. And it can be almost as expensive as Nationals.

Prom in the spring...gosh! My school has our prom in the fall...so it will not be a problem with me when I am a Jr/Sr. Sometimes it pays off to be different.

You should be grateful that your team has enough financial support to go to the Championship! I'm sure there are hundreds...thousands of kids out there who would trade prom for Atlanta in a hearbeat....
Consider yourself lucky!

[KenWittlief]

oh, the prom! I thought you were missing a PROM (Programable Read Only Memory) and needed another one for the nationals!

you had me worried for a minute, I dont know if IFI has any spare PROMs.

[Rombus]

My prom sucked, so i would have definitely traded prom for a trip to nationals

Only in FIRST do you get a response like this. ^^


But honestly, I would trade prom for Nationals anyday. I don't have to since we have our prom in the first week of May. *shrug*

No sweat off my back! But hey, don't sweat it, this could be your only time going to Nationals. So be happy!

[KenWittlief]

everyone reading this thread, you KNOW what you must do now

at Atlanta, friday night social, you gotta have an official FIRST prom for everyone who made the ultimate sacrifice for the team :^)

at least for, oh.... 30 minutes or so

...and I thought she was referring to the team party -- that she couldn't find any reference to the team party in any of the FIRST Championship documents.

I would most certainly trade a lot of things for the money and time to go to nats (darn exam timetables)
Whislt we dont have prom's here, we have a end of year ball for this year (being senior year in your system) which i think no one would want to miss to be honest, but still, i want to go to nats!

This happened last year at the Championship .
I remember at the after party seeing this girl in a black dress and thought "she's awfully overdressed for the affair." Then I saw Mike's pictures on his site and realized that thi steam (anyone had any idea who they were?) were REALLY overdressed for the affair but it's no different than any other costume worn at the championship.
