I had my ticket and was planning on going with other mentors before we got in off the waitlist. When it comes to the students however that situation is way more complex with our school district.
If we hadn't gotten in I probably would have joined a friend's team for the weekend to help out, or if I'm feeling masochistic I would volunteer to inspect  .
