a weekend of competitions



2 big competitions this past weekend for the family--the state tournament for Destination Imagination for Ben, and the Stick-it-to-Cancer Hockey Tournament for Terri. Both went well.

Ben's DI team did a series of performances and presentations for "Project Outreach" in the Senior High Division. They did over 150 hours of community service in the months leading up to the event. The pictures you see are their dramatic representations of their work. Ben was the voice of the teacher and played musical rifts in the background. His Star-Spangled Banner (performed when the flag you see above was raised) was one of the top moments of the day. The team didn't win but scored several high marks and have now submitted their scores and materials for consideration for an at-large spot to "Globals" (which would be in Knoxville TN later in May if they get chosen.)

Terri's team (see below) won their first two games and advanced to the championship game of their C3 bracket on Sunday. They didn't win (the milwaukee team they faced seemed to have a few ringers) but it was clearly their best weekend of the season and a great way to finish up the year! And all of Terri's clinics and skating paid off with a big assist in the game winning goal of the second contest.
