FIRST Kickoff Dance Party?!?!

[Andy Grady]

Hello everyone!

So far I have recieved some good responses for the dance party, and we are pretty close to making this thing fly. What we need to know is how many people would be showing up so we could get food as appropriate. If you have any idea of how many people will be joining you or your team to the party, drop me a PM or e-mail.

This promises to be a HUGE celebration! Great music and lights provided by excelent DJ's! Lots of Pizza available. Prizes and contests such as a Limbo contest and a Dance off to be held (best robot dance included)! Join us for what could be your last glimpse of sanity (or insanity) before the kickoff craziness begins. Its a great event for teams to attend if they want to meet others or even bond more with themselves!

The party would be held at Daniel Webster College in Nashua NH on the friday evening of kickoff. People of all ages are invited! Admission would be 5 dollars, proceeds to benefit the DWC/Alvirne FIRST team!

Support FIRST by supporting your fellow teams, and have fun while doing it!

Just a little advice, from past experience. If you are going to have a live DJ, please allow dancing. Some of you may remember from this past year in SC the "No Dancing Allowed" Signs. Other than that, it sounds like a great idea. I wish we were closer to an event such that we could participate in more of these FIRST community events.

Hey now, get it right...

Geeze, I wish I'd gotten one of them. Makes me almost wish I was still in high school.

Er...maybe not.

I dont think that will be a problem considering I am part of the group who is doing the DJing And did I tell you I love to lead big crowds in dances? Cha Cha anyone?

There will be lots of dancing allowed, and the DJing group has alot of experiences doing dances, college parties, and even some competitions. There will be lots of FIRST music, and believe me...the man behind the lights is incredible...especially when we do Sandstorm. You dont want to miss that!

I wouldn't imagine them allowing dancing at a "dance party". Seems rediculous.

That could most definately be arranged...we will take all kinds of requests

Plus, with 131 being one of my past teams, and the fact that I know like 75% of your alumni...I think you are obligated to go I'm kidding, you dont have to...but it would make me really happy!
