I have a regionals competition coming up in early February. Not really too soon, but it comes faster than you think.

February 5th is just 3 weeks from Saturday. Way too soon.

I have Regionals on the first Friday of March. Not that early, but it's still less than 2 months away. And seeing as we only meet around 2 times a week for 1 hour and maybe around 4-6 hours on the week of, that's only . . . 32 hours of team practice left! :|

We meet once every 2 weeks for like 30 minutes to go over stuff; we don't do team practice. I spend more than half of my SO time rewriting lineups instead of studying/building for my 7 events because freak things keep changing.

Needless to say, I've never made nationals.

Our team has the talent to go to nationals but the thing is, two other teams do too.

After last night's crap-fest on my team's part, even states is iffy at this point. Doesn't help that we lost 4 outstanding seniors last year (one of which got a perfect ACT score), but we didn't really get new people. none that are motivated, that is.
