Re: One More Week!!!

Getting together a lot of stuff for the Competition with the events I'm working with and just figuring everything out.

As a team, we're coordinating travelling plans and such, and working through all the random organization stuff before a big event.

And most of all, being BLOODY EXCITED! I LOVE ATL!

Sorry, had to add some caps lock there.

Re: One More Week!!!

Heh, right now 624 is kind of in a slight panic. We kind of decided on going to nationals kind of late in the game, so we are kind of still planing a few things. We have faced so many problems going to championships.

1) Next week is the TAKS tests, which are the state standardized tests which determine how much money the school gets. Basically, the whole entire school year is supposed to be dedicated to passing this EASY test. For Juniors if they don't pass it they can't graduate. Our team will have to take the test DURING THE COMPETITION AT THE SAME TIME AS EVERYONE ELSE IN TEXAS!

2)The majority of kids on the team are in band. On the same weekend of the championship is the huge band trip to Disneyland which we could receive no refund to.

Re: One More Week!!!

We spent last night creating a small book of standard plays based on experience from the Regionals. This weekend we will collect/crate our spare parts and tools.

Other than that we're just chewing our nails in anticipation.

Re: One More Week!!!

I'm getting excited and starting to fret.

Since our machine is in good shape and our veteran all-student pit crew doesn't need mentor help any more, I stay busy placing last minute orders for stuff like FIRSTPACK lunches and extra safety glasses. And a few spare packs of SLU-70 lugs for battery cables (see <R48>).

Gotta get my day-job projects squared away so they can get by without me for a few days. Gotta phone/email old friends in ATL. Gotta find a hotel room. Gotta wash some volunteer t-shirts, plus a couple of lime PC shirts.

And stock up on Krispy Kremes to entice visitors to our pit!
