Re: FIRSTies Talent Show, sponsored by AndyMark

There are 24 applications for the FIRSTies. Of those 24, we will be paring down to about 15-18 acts through on-site auditions in St. Louis. These final acts will be performing at the Ferrara Theater for the FIRSTies, taking place at 7:00pm on Saturday night.

I must say, there will be a wide variety of shows. There are some funny skits, songs, and dances planned to entertain and surprise the audience. Acts will be represented from various countries, bringing all sorts of culture to the stage.

The judges will be setting up a AIM chat, viewable by the audience (through a PC projector), so that comments from the judges (only) can be seen while the acts are performing. At least, that is what our plan is.

Thank you for all of the people willing to perform and to help make the FIRSTies fun!

(pssst... if you are in an act, we will have an organizational meeting at the AndyMark booth at 11:00am on Thursday)

Sincerely,
Andy Baker

Re: FIRSTies Talent Show, sponsored by AndyMark

We had a great time at the first-ever FIRSTies talent show at the Championships. Thank you to all of the 15 acts who performed. Our winning act was Alex Curfman of team 1086.

All of the acts showed great confidence and showmanship, along with flexibility for being involved in a first-time event.

Although we didn't give much notice for this event, we still had a packed house and had a great time. Next year, the event will be better publicized and advertized.

If anyone has any video or pictures of the acts, we would be willing to post them on our facebook page.

Many thanks go out to these folks:

- Steve Krawic and Show Ready Events for proposing this idea to us at AndyMark
- Kelli Van Antwerp for being our backstage production manager
- Wendy Austin and friends from Exploding Bacon for their stage crew help
- Dave Lavery, Kate Pilotte, Lucien Junken, and Jason Morrella for their judging expertise and witty comments during the show
- Brant Bowen, Brandon Maris and Paul Kennelly (AndyMark staff) for their efforts to help. I did not know that Paul had some cool dancing moves!
- Greg McCoy, Chelsea Brinton, and David Hoff for assisting as needed
- John and the staff at the Ferrara Theater, along with Swank productions for their help and assistance

Sincerely,
Andy Baker

Re: FIRSTies Talent Show, sponsored by AndyMark

Andy,
I had something else competing for my time during this time slot, but heard really nice things from many people about it. What a great example of what those in the robot world do such a good job at - pulling together stuff like this to benefit so many, often at the last minute.

You are all rock stars.

Andy:

Saw most of the talent show and loved it!
Besides the obvious fun of it all its nice to see the kids in a different environment. It puts a whole different perspective on who they are as human beings.
Great addition to the FIRST Finale.

Re: FIRSTies Talent Show, sponsored by AndyMark

Great show! The on-screen comments were great - for those at the show, who didn't like "I want that guy's job!" or Andy trying to block the projector for the "Andy-Mark $100,000 gift" ?

The acts were all great! And of course, the FIRST audience was very supportive - it seems we all know how to clap and cheer

P.S. to Andy: If the day comes when Andy-Mark gives out $100,000 gift cards, I want a job. I figure a job in the packing department will be paying $250,000 a year

......Our team can build robots........

That sounded a lot better in my head, where I forgot we would be performing in front of an entire audience who did the exact same thing.

i've gotta say out of the 15 some odd performances i've done over the past 4 years the FIRSTies event was BY FAR the most fun ive ever had on stage!!! the crowd, other acts, judges, and volunteers from 1902 were all awesome!!! i cant wait to see some videos from the show!
A huge thanks to Andy Mark for putting this on! i cant wait to see it happen again next year!

-Alex
