We need at least one adult (18 years or older) per team to volunteer to assist with the Regional Tournament. Responsibilities are generally easy and my include running concessions, checking people in, parking lot help, etc. This would only be for half of the day and should not interfere with viewing your child's performance. If you are able to help please contact me as soon as possible.
After taking 1st at the Regional Competition and 2nd at the State Competition, the TACOS have been invited to travel to DI's Global Finals down in Knoxville, Tennessee. This 4 day competition will feature over 1,300 teams from 45 states, 7 Canadian provinces and 13 countries. Over 16,000 people are expected to attend "the world's largest celebration of creativity".
Thanks to the Burr PTO and DeKeyser PTCG donations we will be able to set the price for competition teams (3rd-9th grade) at $21 per member and Rising Star teams (k-2nd) at $15 per member. These fees cover the cost of Destination ImagiNation’s registration fees, MICA’s Regional Fees (our tournament) and a T-Shirt but do not include material costs generated by the individual teams (including but not limited to food, costume and set materials, food, paint, glue, food, building supplies, and did I mention food ?) Payment can be sent to either your Team Manager or directly to myself, but please do NOT send your payment directly to the school or the PTCG. In order to make accounting easier (for me), checks should be made out to DeKeyser PTCG and cash should be placed in a marked envelope. Prompt payment would be greatly appreciated.
Team manager training is not required, but encouraged for all new managers. Among others, the team challenges will be gone over with the Challenge Masters; which is extremely helpful in determining the intent of the challenges and answering any questions the team managers may have. Region 3's Team Manager Workshop will be held on November 9, 2013 at Waterford Mott High School. The workshop will run from 9am until 4pm and will cost $10 per person (lunch is included).
