Crestian Classic

[Captainhook]

There is one of these threads started in teh Atlantic Section, but let's open it up.

Who will be spendin the weekend with us here in Sunny Florida at the Crestian Classic?

I'll be there in Di and Duo.

[Jimbo Jones 2017]

DUO can't wait :o

[flyfarfromhere]

HI and Duo. a bit nervous about the debut of my new duo.

[megz642]

although I can't compete (because I go to Pine Crest), I can't wait to see everyone-- good luck, guys!

[Cinderella]

HI and OI

Woohoo!!!

[tamereestoprah]

(new) DI and (old) OI.

represent highland.

[sassafrassz]

I REALLY want to go.. but I don't think I will be able to. Have fun for me!

[SniffyGuy]

HI

[Ryan]

Yippee!!! Why are you only going in HI though?

[OOJessOO]

You know Spanish River will be all over that one! We're looking forward to it...

[JoeleDaCuban]

I'm entering in my slut of an event... DI.....

And also my virgin HI....



Should be FUN!!!!

[Its Alive]

I'll be going to get destroyed in HI and to hopefully find some luck in OI.

[SniffyGuy]

As of right now, I'm only entered in HI cuz its the only event I think I'll have prepared by then that is good enough for competition there. Plus, its a kinda expensive tournament (including transportation) and my school isn't paying for any of it.

[Forensicatur]

Gina and I will be there in OI and Duo[/b]

[iismepeter]

forgot to tell you but, congrats at 1st jeff! wooooo

[pturplehaze]

Ernie from Pine Crest has hired me to judge IEs!!! Can't wait to see y'all. Maybe if you bring chocolates to any round I may judge you in, I'll try not to drop you.

[oosweetnesssoo]

i am now going in DI and HI.. woot.

[Cinderella]

Row, HI??? Oh man, that's gonna be so awesome!!!

[oosweetnesssoo]

LoLz I'm actually quite scared...I've never done HI before

[Its Alive]

Don't worry, I'm in my third year of HI and I still don't know what I'm doing.

[oosweetnesssoo]

awww sam =|

[JoeleDaCuban]

For everyone going to Crestian...

Apparently... Ernie has opened some more room because I used to be on the waiting list for duo... and now I am in. Also... since school has started up again in most areas, judges have dropped some students. In all... things are looking great for people who are (or used to be) on the waiting list.

[SniffyGuy]

So Crestian is in a little over a week. I'm very excited.

This is the first time i'll be going to Crestian. How is the tournament? I've heard great things about it, and I'd love to hear more.

[Ryan]

Tiring. It has the most prelim rounds before NFL Nats for interp (6). If you are one of the few insanely talented/lucky people who double breaks, you finish the tournament competing in 18 rounds in total. Even if you double enter and don't break, you've got 12 rounds done. Over the 3 days, it gets to be exhausting.

[Captainhook]

Exhausting!

I double finaled last year and it was an exhausting 18 rounds. By finals i was ready to fall asleep.But, like all other speech tournaments . . it was fun!

[Forensicatur]

do you ever not final at a tournment?

[JoeleDaCuban]

I guess we'll find out....

IN 4 DAYS!!!!!

[Captainhook]

I guess we'll find out....

IN 4 DAYS!!!!!

::sit spit spit:: kennahurra kennahurra kennahurra

can we not jinx anyone, please?

[Ryan]

Oh fooee! (puts away his Alex voodoo doll that looks strangely like Elmo)

[JoeleDaCuban]

I guess we'll find out....

IN 4 DAYS!!!!!

::sit spit spit:: kennahurra kennahurra kennahurra

can we not jinx anyone, please?

eesh.... sorry.... I'm knocking on wood (and attempting to pronounce kennahurra)

[SniffyGuy]

I wonder, if predicting that someone will final jinxes them from finaling... does predicting they won't final jinx them into finaling?

[oosweetnesssoo]

OMG!!! TWO DAYS!!!!!!

Highland gets in Ft. Lauderdale at around 9pm on Thursday at the Sheraton [tournament] Hotel.

Call my cell if you wanna hang out or get dinner or something!!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!! :D

[Jimbo Jones 2017]

HOOTERS!!!!

[Ryan]

Yep, there wings ain't half bad.

[Jimbo Jones 2017]

SWEET TOMATOES!!!!!!

[megz642]

tomorrow!!!!

can't wait to see everyone (you can't miss me in my school uniform--- yup, we pine cresters have to wear polo shirts and pleated skirts)!

If I have results before everyone else, I'll be sure to post.

[Jimbo Jones 2017]

BENIGAN'S!!!!!!!!!

[Ryan]

This thread is making me hungry... I think I'll stop at Chicken Kitchen for lunch tomorrow before the tourney based on Alex's recommendation.

[Captainhook]

ALEX WEISMAN'S HOUSE!

(seriously . . . if anyone wants to come over for dinner . . . . or breakfast **ow ow**)

[megz642]

i'm sorry, but VITOS!!!! by far the best place around the PC area. AMAZING pizza.

and despite the icky weather and the whole running late thing, Crestian got off to a great start. Three more prelims and quarters tomorrow (i think).

[JrAsparagus05]

Break legs everyone!

[toughguy422]

any results... quarterfinalists? semifinalists? or, if no one sees this until tomorrow, winners? good luck to all those still competing!

[flyfarfromhere]

Congrats to Midwest duos! All 6 duos in finals at the Crestian were from the Midwest -- Iowa(1 duo in finals) and Minnesota (5 duos in finals).

[Jimbo Jones 2017]

I had the BEST TIME OF MY LIFE AT THIS CRESTIAN. Granted this was the poorest run tourney I have ever been to, competition was still high and we just had a blast in the Fort of LauderDale


KATHLEEN: DEJA VU ALL FREAKIN OVER AGAIN uber congrats to you and your partna. See you at Nats (Hopefully) :D :D :wink: :) :o :P

[JoeleDaCuban]

I had the BEST TIME OF MY LIFE AT THIS CRESTIAN. Granted this was the poorest run tourney I have ever been to, competition was still high and we just had a blast in the Fort of LauderDale

Or did you...?

TONIGHT AT 10!!!!

[Jimbo Jones 2017]

jigga what? :?

[Its Alive]

HOLY CRAP!!! Crestian was outlandishly amazing!

I just have one thing to say...

WWWWHAAAAAMMMYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

[OOJessOO]

Spanish River getting IE sweeps? :lol:

Creatian was amazing... sometimes I forget how much I love all of you guys but then I get a nice little reminder like this weekend. Congrats to EVERYONE who participated.

[funkyitaliana]

I got what you meant Joelle! Oh and THEY'RE RACIST...but at least Jesus Loves You!


James...JOY TO THE WORLD

and Sam....OH MY GAWD!

and to Jeska, Roo-Roo, and everyone else I hung out w/ I love you guys and Crestion kicked ***

[megz642]

i'm so glad you guys had a good time, despite the crappy management and computer-related blunders. i don't remember how many times I had to tell people, "Yes, I realize it's been two hours since round six, but I have no idea when quarters postings will be. Please sir, don't throw things." but when I wasn't running around frantically, I had a good time and I was glad to see everyone. congrats to everyone.

[Cinderella]

Ha, Meg, I love you! But some of the BEST things about the tournament NEVER would have happened if it was run well!!!

Joy to the world!

[Jimbo Jones 2017]

Alllllllllll the boys and girls!

[Cinderella]

I LOVE YOUR SIGNATURE!!!!!

*changes mine*

...Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea....

[Jimbo Jones 2017]

Joy to you and meeeeeeee *sounding hilariously off-key*

[Cinderella]

GET OFF THE TABLE YOU MORON!!!!

[Jimbo Jones 2017]

WE ARE TRYING TO DO A JUDGE CALL HERE!!!!!

[SniffyGuy]

I wonder, what that guy (the one who called us morons) would have done if we all, as in every single IEer at the tournament, made a big conga line and marched into that judges lounge, singing as loudly and obnoxiously as possible...

[oosweetnesssoo]

hahahhaa he would DISQUALIFY all of us!

morons 'r us

[MrDb8]

The 2nd place team in PFD was Daniel Thompson and Zack Smith from CORAL SPRINGS HIGH not Douglas

[Its Alive]

So WHAT movie were you in, again?

[katieisquirky]

.......... a;sdlkjfencyclopedia a;sdflj;brittanica.

[debsterz]

hah, debbie sanchez finaled in HI. i knew something was fishy when she didn't make it to wake finals. =p

that's the sweetest thing ever! i love you!!!! who are you?

btw... Jeff rocks my world! I'm so glad I met you! :D

[sta7]

did st thomas quit forensics?

[Its Alive]

They are still quite alive, but they may be better at soccer.

[Ryan]

Chelsea semi'ed I believe in HI and Kelly chilled at the tournament in street clothes (I think she had to work a shift during it or something so she couldn't compete).

[sta7]

Soccer, no question. They're amazing, number one in the nation last year.

Oh well, I thought they'd have done better this far.

[OOJessOO]

One of my ballots from semis reads "should have dropped" as in I shouldn't have made it that far. How mean is that? What a *******!

Just thought I'd share... I'm still laughing about that one. :lol:

[SniffyGuy]

Chelsea only quartered in HI unfortunately.

Btw, Debbie - you kick ***.

[Forensicatur]

Hey everyone! Congrats on a fantastic tournament. I do have a confession though. My name is Tim Norton and i shouldn't have been allowed to break because i was dancing on the tables and screaming the words to Jeremiah was a Bullfrog. And i had half a mind to start screaming again once i was insulted. Anyone else participate in the fantastic revolution of the cafeteria?

[katieisquirky]

I know I did! One of the original five forensics carolers. I wonder how much money we raised for James' Harvard fund.


-Ruru

[Cinderella]

I think that we original troublemakers should have a name.... the Battlepedia Titanicas perhaps?

[Jimbo Jones 2017]

How bout "Crestian Titanica Carolers"

BTW, I want us to do this at every tourney we go to. We'll take requests, and get organized, I'll sing all the bass/baritone/or whatever needs be lines.

Playlist (open to suggestions, should be good to listen to acapella)
"Lean on Me"
"Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog"
"Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego"
"Dream a little Dream"
"Somebody to Love"
"I want you Back"

[Ryan]

Don't forget the new song "$50,000"

[Jimbo Jones 2017]

INstant Classic

[Cinderella]

I can honestly say that singing with you guys last weekend is one of the best memories of my life.

Katie burned me a CD with like EVERYTHING on it (including the mortal combat -kombat? combat? oh man, either way it looks wierd if you look at it...- music! **** yeah!) and it makes me sooooo happy and now its IMPOSSIBLE for me to let go of Crestian....

[SniffyGuy]

You guys gotta sing "Hey Jude" the next time you perform.

[Its Alive]

Don't forget "The Devil Went Down to Georgia."

[Forensicatur]

Shall we schedule our next performance at Emory?

[Cinderella]

We'll be missing a few :(

[Jimbo Jones 2017]

:( :( :( :( sorry :( :( :( :(

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:


wish we had $$$

[Cinderella]

Its not your fault. It occured to me yesterday that unless we all make it to Nationals, I dont know when we're ever going to all be together again. :(

[Jimbo Jones 2017]

FFL States

[Forensicatur]

I can't go to FFL cause my dad is getting married. :cry:

:shock: :shock: :shock: :( :( :( :shock: :shock: :shock:

[katieisquirky]

I think what he means is "Yay for your dad getting married, but conversely, I feel sad that you will not be present with us at FFL States." Or something like that. I paraphrased.

[Forensicatur]

WHAT?!

Say it ain't so, man! Tell your dad that he can get married in Altamonte Springs!

[Forensicatur]

Well since we are all sharing the good news. Gina probably isn't going to attend FFL since i can't go. Now here's the kicker she might be kicked off the forensics team for not going to FFL State. And if that happens...you won't see me or gina in forensics again.

[debsterz]

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! I WILL PERSONALLY GO UP TO NICEVILLE AND KICK YOUR COACHES BUTT IF THAT HAPPENS!!!

anyone wanna join me?

[Jimbo Jones 2017]

HOLY CRAP THIS IS NOT FAIR, I AM SOOOOOOOO WITH YOU DEBBIE!!!

GINA YOU HAVE TO COME PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!


TIM AND GINA ARE THE TWO BEST PLAYAS FROM NICEVILLE AND HAVE TO COME TO OUR NFLS FOR LOTSA FUN!!!!



DEPRESSION IS SETTING IN :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Cinderella]

*sad*



SAD!!!!!!!!!!

[katieisquirky]

But.. but... Tim and Gina... You are two of the original morons!

No. You will go.

You will win everything.

And you will like it.

[Its Alive]

:shock:

...

...

...

<pitiful sarcasm>
I order you and Gina to get yourselves expelled. Buchholz needs more decent competitors than we have (currently zero). Get down here and compete for us. It's only about six hours away.
</pitiful sarcasm>

OK, that's settled.
