Team Leaders,

National Anthem Student Choir

All students interested in singing the National Anthem should meet with Mr. Diers, Team 3840, on Thursday at 4:00pm by concessions in Pioneer Hall for practice. The group will sing at both opening ceremonies.

Team Banners for lobby

Don’t forget to create a team banner. Banners will be collected at load-in and will hang in the DECC lobby. The banner should be made of durable material, be 2ft x 2ft, and have 2 grommets at the top from which to hang the banner.
