Banquet Dinner! :-)

The Banquet Dinner was a great success! We had some amazing speakers and delicious food. We got to the banquet around 6:30pm and made it back to the hotel round 9:30ish after a wonderful snack, which I am not going to state!! :)

This is a picture of the ice sculpture. I wonder how long it took to carve?

The band who played for the entertainment after the banquet was over: Rockestra

Abby, Raina, Leah, and Bree got a picture with the Prairie Dog/Groundhog/Squirrel before leaving for our surprise snack... (we couldn't figure out what this thing was).

After the banquet, we got into our comfy clothes and spent some team bonding time watching our opponents, Tennessee Wesleyan, play in their conference finals game. We learned a great deal about their personnel and will work our magic on them Thursday.

For now we are going to bed so we can get up early (9am) for breakfast; we are going to watch our fellow WHAC members, Aquinas College compete against the Cougars of Saint Francis University out of Indiana. Once the game is over, we will head over to the elementary school to talk with and visit 6 classrooms grades Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd. After visiting the elementary school, we are going to practice at Briar Cliff University.

I will not be online to post until after our shoot around/practice, so I apologize ahead of time for the future delay of activities tomorrow. Have a good night and talk to you tomorrow! :) Go DU!
