Pennsylvania 2009

[eyeball138]

Has anyone started working in PA yet?

[binary010101]

Yes (hopefully).

[eyeball138]

Are you even thinking about regionals yet? The dates are:

SE- March 9th
NE- March 11th
CE- March 13th
SW- March 25th
NW- March 26th
Central- March 28th

I know there are also the Athens and Tiger invitationals, but I'm in B so I can't go to either.

[binary010101]

Our team doesn't go to invitationals at all...

I'm focusing more on the county tournament at this point
(held at Kutztown University)

[eyeball138]

Yeah I'm focusing on my regionals too. I'm in SE so mine is on March 9th. That's only 111 days!

Our regionals and states are so late compared to other states'. I think we must have the latest state competition at May 1st and march 9th is pretty late for regionals. It is too bad there aren't any invitationals for B in PA.

[binary010101]

States are May 1st???

[eyeball138]

Yeah they are. I know that states in Pennsylvania are always late, last year April 25th, but May 1st I think is too far. May is the month of nationals, not states.

YES. My team starts around October-November I already have the CtW binder from last year that I made, and I've started on Physics lab and Environmental Chemistry. (div. B)

Our school has a marching band competition around the time that States happen, too, and somehow, EVERY SINGLE YEAR, the marching band trip occurs ON THE SAME DAY!

That pretty much guts our states team.
