Our first blog entry from a parent has arrived! Read on to see this report from Stevenson High School parent, Daniel DeGrazia. Dan's daughter, Aliya, and her partner, Jamie Levit, just finished performing "Escobedo v. Illinois" in the Senior Division preliminary round. We're actively recruiting blog entries from students, fan club members, and others. Enter your own in the "comments" section of the blog, or just email cjohnson@chicagohistoryfair.org to join in the fun!
-----Prepping for Performances, by Daniel DeGrazia
What a madhouse! Organized chaos! The halls of stamp union were filled with people dressing and talking and building sets and rushing around. It was really great to see the teams from the different states help each other out; a safety pin here, a table there. It felt like each group wanted to compete against the best that the other group had so it was worth helping them out just to make sure you were competing against the best they could bring.
So many last minute things would not fit quite right and had to be re done and some teams looked like they needed construction permits for their sets! What an amazing array of creativity. I can’t wait for the results so we can do it all again tomorrow!
