For this blog post I will be talking about destination imagination provincials which happened around two weeks ago. Leading up to provincials we made some changes to our performance.
The first change we did was Liam made a new backdrop during spring break that was stronger that the last one which was very important because our last backdrop broke pretty early on. The next thing we decided to change was one of our team choice elements that team choice element was originally a song made by our team but we decided to change it to a monster themed mural like you would see at a coffee shop. We first came up with what we were going to paint and someone in our group made the rough sketch. After around a day we started to paint and in two days we were done and in my opinion it looks pretty good. Now the final thing we changed was we made some changes to the script to make it funnier. To be honest we also probably made a few other small changes but I having trouble remembering.
Any now onto the the day of provincials for this year provincials was held at Callingwood. We had to get there pretty early because there were a ton of teams that had to present and some of them were made up of young kids so they didn’t want it to last to long.
When I first arrived at Di I couldn’t find my team so I was hanging out with some other people but like five minutes later I found them after that we unloaded all of our stuff but we didn’t have to present for like two hours so we watched some of our friends performances and had some pop but most importantly we rehearsed.
After all of that it was time for our instant challenge which we did very well in. Now lets just skip to check in time so we grabbed our structure and went to check in. Checking in was pretty easy after we did that we did one more full run through. Now finally we moved our stuff into the room and did our performance. It went pretty well but we were way too quiet and that was our main downfall.
After that we saw a few more groups then it was the award ceremony which was very fun every team in plp did place except for one. Our team ended up coming first for the instant challenge in our category and third in the main challenge.
Overall this was super fun and one thing that I would change next time would be not drinking coke out of the cup because the cup had a leak in it.
