Thank you in advance to the Captain's moms for organizing snacks/water for the bus/travel and for our lunches. 

Parents, please remember to take pictures - action shots or non-action shots (video fine too)- and send them to gwenmitrano@gmail.com. 

Finally, it is important to remember that we are the DHS Nationals team so we ride on the bus to Nationals together as a team, we cheer on each other as a team, and we take the bus home as a team... and we have Fun!
