Home Stretch and New Coach

Team, we are in the HOME STRETCH!

This week was a very exciting week for the team!  We made great progress on the plot of our silent movie.  The team has been working very hard on the villainous characters and I'm very proud of what they have come up with.  That being said, we do still have a very long, but manageable, list ahead of us, such as:


  • Build the Set (Paul has a great idea, we will be looking at prototypes and models next week)
  • Make Costumes
  • Write the Script 
  • Finish the Plot
  • Add Subtitles
  • Create a Movie Trailer
  • Make a Membership Sign
  • Construct a Musical Score and Instrument
This looks like a very daunting list, however, this week we also got a very special new coach to help the team!  Mr. Wesley!

Wesley Dudas is a freshman at NC State who happened to see one of the flyers that I put up around campus.  He quickly contacted me to see about helping with our team as he has been apart of the Odyssey of the Mind program for several years.  I immediately said yes as he has not only been apart of Odyssey, he has also been very successful as his team has placed in regionals, states, and worlds! It is truly an honor to have such a experienced coach working with the team!


PARENTS!
You will be receiving an email shortly about the team meeting on two Saturdays or Sundays.  Please respond as quickly as possible as these extra practices will be crucial to our team's success at the tournament on March 7th.  Also, if you are able to come to a Saturday or Sunday practice, please consider 'donating' some space (your house/garage) for the team to work in.  You guys are the best!
