Meals: Breakfast, snacks, beverages, and lunch will be sold in the student cafeteria.  Snacks: Eric and Olivia  Donuts:  Gabriel

Awards: Individual awards will be provided for the finalists in each event. Charitable donations will be made in the name of the top five (5) teams, based on final round results, in lieu of team trophies. 

Time Issues:  We have to be serious to be within the time limit.  In the IHSA series you will go down for every :30 you are over.   Coaches:  Always time when coaching this week.

Coaching:  This is your last chance for feedback before Regionals so try something different that you have been working on.  Smooth out changes to get confident and take a risk.  Remember judges have no idea if you are a first year or 4th year.  Everyone should walk up there like they are a 4th year.

Coaching:  You can sign up for multiple coaching sessions. Good to get a new view. Work on your notes before your next session.  TRY SOMETHING NEW FROM YOUR WORK WEEK!  What’s something that has worked for you?

Snacks:  Gregory and Murphy
