Congratulations
to all National Qualifiers!!!!!

For those of you who have never been before the event kicks off with the opening ceremonies parade where all the regions' competitors and parents march in to the plaza together with ADK leading the way! (Thank you alphabetical order!) As a way of showing our ADK pride we will once again be offering a sweatshirt you can wear during the march or anytime (purchaseat Copper - $40). It is a Black full-zip hoodie with "ADK" printed in lime green wrapping around the side and up the back. Please let me know your size if you want one. I will be shipping them out west and will have them onsite for you when you arrive. Also, please let me know if you will be arriving in time for this part of the event. We will be naming an ADK MVP who will have a place of honor in our group! It could be you!
