We will leave from Roosevelt hopefully at 3:45pm from the front west drive. If you have 8th hour at Central get your car back to Roosevelt so we can leave from here. Park in the NW parking lot if you are leaving the vehicle for the weekend. We have never had a problem with a car left at school.
We are staying at the Marriott Courtyard in Omaha.. .. 1625 South 67th Street, Omaha - (402) 951-4300
There are only 4 prelims in speech to break to Octos so it is a difficult break as a national tournament should be. You may well have two judges per round similar to NFL Nationals and TOC events. There are especially difficult extemp rules...no phones, no ipods, etc. A old nun is in charge of the prep room and I hear she is hell on nun's sneakers! Be sure of directions when you arrive. Take nothing for granted.
Aida, you need two copies of your OO available in case someone wants to see it.
Making the trip: Harry, Nate, Sam, Mike, Aida, Catherine and Mirza.
