On to the good stuff:
Congratulations to all the amazing teams in the finals! I have never seen such a wonderful - well fought out battle in my six years from the floor or from the stands. Midwest, Southwest, MidAtlantic, or New England areas - one of the best shows put on EVER! Congratulations to both the Champions and the Finalists!!!!

To the individuals of Rochester, and the Regional planning committee. Thanks for one of the best Regional venues, best food, best entertainment, etc, etc, etc, etc. All I have heard is compliments and more compliments. I have been to Regionals that have tried for YEARS to get where you have in your Inaugural Event, AMAZING job to all! The Venue was easily accessible from the Interstate (the round-about entrance, was unfriendly to us southerners, )...... pit traffic wonderful, and accessible from stands and playing field. Even though food was not allowed in from the outside, it was available from the school not just usual stadium overpriced vendors like most events. The team social was excellent, great food, the Band was wonderful, and I have heard from many that went to the Comedian that it was top notch.

all I can do to wrap it up is one shout out to all.... UpChuck! UpChuck! UpChuck!

Tiny is a friend of mine and talks to the kids in school alot and he is an all around good guy. He's very ideal act for FIRST to use. I hope FIRST invites him again.
