It has Begun

The Odyssey of the Mind World Finals competition kicked off last night at Iowa State University with a bang. The Voorheesville Middle School team wearing their New York State t-shirts and  their glow in the dark Statue of Liberty crowns sat with the rest of the New York teams and cheered along with the thousands of other Odyssey folks in the Hilton  Coliseum. Alex Relyea reprsented the school with the New York State group as they entered the coliseum in the parade of nations and states.

The team arrived in Ames in good shape yesterday afternoon, considering the started off at the Albany airport at 4 am then flew into Chicago then drove 6 hours to Ames. There was a snafu with the dorm assignment and they had to be reassigned rooms leaving them homeless for awhile but the intrepid chaperones prevailed in sorting things out. 

The team has a busy day today unloading props, competing in spontaneus and rehersing their performance which will be first thing Fri. morning.
