We'll leave that to the competition!

What events are you most excited for? I'm all ready to try everything XD

I want to do Sounds of Music and Food Science(again) bad. I also am interested in Shock Value, Metric Mastery, Experimental Design, Heredity, (in no particular order, probably the wrong order) and I am also minimally interested in Keep the Heat, Meteorology, and Write It/Do It.

Boy that's the problem with me. At least not as bad as Slarik's sister, who wants to do about 21 of the 23 events.

Our schools team is more organized and democratic. (No offense meant to any other school) 3 or 4 events for everyone. That being said, I'm interested in meteorology, which is my favorite event, reach for the stars, (which my dad has re-discovered as a nerdy hobby from his childhood), dynamic planet. (I've always loved mountains and mountaineering.) heredity ? Helicopters? Rotor egg drop?

I think Pilgrimage will win this year again, a wider margin than last year. Honestly, people on my team don't try and the coaches refuse to hand them the pink slip after 2 failed competitions. (Then again, I'm a huge pessimist ;) )

Our 6th graders generally don't compete. Our entire team (A/B) is 7th and 8th graders.
