Well, in past years it's been alphabetical first by the team and then by the alternates. I don't know if we'd be mixed up with the high school kids or sitting separately. If you try those different situations, you should be able to figure out all the people you might end up sitting next to :D

Coaches won't let us (not to mention that we'd have to wait for the seatbelt sign to be turned off, etc).

If you're on the bus really early or really late you can pretend to sleep, but actually be listening to random conversations around you. I had no idea that my team loved Pokemon that much! :lol:
