No Practice Thursday, Oct 9th

Update:

No practice Thursday, October 9th. 

We'd booked rooms for practice on Thursday about 3 months ago, but the rooms are double-booked due to conferences at Valley View too.  We can't displace teachers from their classroom on conference nights, that's not a reasonable expectation.

So, we're going to work hard tonight, Monday, and that will be it for the week.

Notes

1.  It's possible the tournament will put JV and Novice on the East Bank.  We will know this on Wednesday sometime.
2. No shortage of places to get food from, but you can't walk away from tournament area (say, walk over to Chipotle) without checking out with a coach and going in a group of at least two.

* Parents. We need a total of 17 judges to make this weekend work, so if any of you are game to judge, this a weekend where we really need your help. 

** No Concessions.  You'll for sure want to bring your own food for breakfast and snacks. The Edina Friends of Forensics will be helping you by bringing in pizza.  Keep in mind this isn't an all-you-can-eat feasting. It's probably like 2 slices per person.  So if you need more than that for a long day, pack extra food.  And be sure to say THANK YOU to the EFOF parents who are making this possible for you.

Note
Pack enough food to be self-sufficient for the entire day.  If that means you bring a giant bag from Byerly's, do it.  I would count on tournament having little food available.  Somebody might want to find a pizza place online and do a team pizza order (or some other kind of delivery food).
