Greetings,
There will be two vans leaving for ToCs. I will be driving one, and the Marks family will be driving the other. My van, at present, will be leaving at 8:00AM, and will include:
Sophia G
Ellie K
Sean A
Sri C
Logan G
Finn A
Ellie H
and the Marks van will be leaving at 6:30AM, and will include:
Cael F
Maddie K
Ben T
Jocelyn M
If you are in my van and would like your luggage to be transported in the Marks van (a couple people need to do this for space reasons), please bring your bags to be put in their van to practice on Thursday.
We will arrive in Lexington around 7-8PM. The tournament proper begins bright and early on Saturday at 8AM. We will be returning on Monday--we may send the vans back at different times, based on when people are out of the tournament. The latest I can imagine us being back is Midnight of Monday the 30th (Tuesday, technically). Everyone should be able to attend school on Tuesday if willing.
The Banquet will be on May 15th, at Plymouth. I believe we're looking at 6:00PM but ore information will be posted soon. Please email me (quentin.hardt@dmschools) with an estimate of how many people your family plans to have attend, so we can get an accurate headcount for catering purposes.
I also need confirmation regarding Nationals that everyone who qualified is planning to attend. We're trying to keep the costs at approximately $500 a person, so pretty close to last year. However, because we have to fly, it's possible that it'll be slightly more expensive, so it's important to keep this in mind for planning purposes. Additionally, if any parents are considering attending, please contact me so that we can discuss the logistics of this.
Finally, Anne has returned from maternity leave! I will post a link to a Google Doc with her practice schedule soon, but if you would like to schedule time to work with her, please reach out to me in the meantime.
