The new DI season has officially begun!!! The challenges were released at midnight last night. Check with your campus coordinator to find out when you will be able to download the challenges.
The Canyon Vista MS team managed by Ed Sills received a rating of Excellent at the state tournament in Project Outreach - Band Together. They have been selected to advance to Global Finals at the end of May. Congratulations.
The end of year social/board meeting that was scheduled on April 24 at Maria Badgett house has been moved to May 2 at 2:00 PM at Jennefer Timm's house due to scheduling problems. We will be electing next year's executive board so all board members need to attend.
The state tournament schedule has been posted on the state website. Look for the state schedule for our teams under State Tournament 2010 on our website.
At the awards ceremony, ACE Academy placed second for elementary level Breaking DI News and Valley View Team 3 placed 1st. However, after the award ceremony it was determined that there were three teams whose team names had been switched. The real first place team was ACE Academy - Time Travelers and the real 2nd place team was Patton Elen - The Four Fab Frappucinos. Our sincerest apologies to the affected teams.
Super Saturday is a skills workshop. We offer classes in such areas as stage presence, improv, technical elements, script writing, team building, costuming, character development, robotics, etc. Each team will attend 4 sessions.
To sign up for the Super Saturday, email Terry Alvarez at mtmmc@austin.rr.com with your district, campus, # team members attending, challenge and level. Once you have received the confirmation email, fill in the form and mail it along with a copy of the confirmation email and a check.
Many thanks to the folks at Leander ISD for volunteering to host the tournament for the second year in a row. Our tournament will be held on Feb 27 at Rouse HS.
The Board information is updated with contact information for our new board members. Special thanks to new and returning board members for their willingness to serve.
