Re: How was Nationals?
Haha, opening ceremonies... eventually we started playing 4-way rock, paper, scissors. But the demonstrations actually worked and the band was good! Any reason as to why it went half an hour or so overtime, though?

Re: How was Nationals?
And the two guys at the end kept talking... and talking... and talking. I thought the rapture had come and that was part of it. I feel like, if they had made it a bit more concise, the awards wouldn't have gone that much over.

My mom was joking that the rapture had happened: people were floating into the sky, but we were inside testing all day so we didn't see.EASTstroudsburg13 wrote:And the two guys at the end kept talking... and talking... and talking.

We were late to awards; I think we were the last team to show up.
Haha. Well, I had lunch outside, but it was a bit rainy. Maybe the rain was just a disguise for the rapture!Infinity Flat wrote:My mom was joking that the rapture had happened: people were floating into the sky, but we were inside testing all day so we didn't see.EASTstroudsburg13 wrote:And the two guys at the end kept talking... and talking... and talking.

Re: How was Nationals?
The opening ceremonies were amazing, but the parade of states had a couple technical difficulties and name mispronunciations. During the closing ceremonies, there was a huuuuuuuuge gap between announcing 3rd-1st place...lots of introductions. It was a great time, the experiments were awesome and everyone looked great. Congratulations to both Solon B and C divisions, and everyone who made it to nationals!!
Also, at the swap meet, I walked in circles forever but still couldn't find the scioly.org table. Where was it, and was it successful?

There wasn't really a table, more like just a conglomeration of Scioly people.googlyfrog wrote:The opening ceremonies were amazing, but the parade of states had a couple technical difficulties and name mispronunciations.
