Demo and Tiger Challenge 2022

 I started a blog last week about the demo and got side tracked and didnt get back to it, my apologies.

The first public Demo in more than 2 years! It was fanatastic! Not only is it a different way to bring the team together, but I find it renews the energy in the year. We put a dragon dance together in a very short period of time, and allowed for a starting point to continue to train with the dragon. The crowd was great, and everyone did an amazing job! 

Also the first Tiger Challenge in more than 2 years! It’s been such a great couple of weeks. The TC was so much fun, and you could feed off the energy in the room. Everyone performed and competed wonderfully, and of course the obstacle course and pool noodle fight didn’t disappoint. My cheeks were sore from laughing so much! This year was a bit of an extra challenge due to being postponed, and some not being able to attend, but all in all I think it was amazing. Congratulations to all!

Due to the date change, my team form had to be adjusted from the original version, as a couple couldn’t make the new date. We were adjusting up to the night before due to uncontrollable circumstances. We ended up a team of 2, instead of the original 5. We certainly missed having the others there, but it also once again taught me about pivoting, making adjustments, and making it work in a different way. Even though they couldn’t make it, they continued to train with us, and still cheered us on from afar. Even the day of, they were sending in positive vibes and well wishes. This is one of the great benefits of getting together with teammates that you may not normally work with. It allows you to expand your comfort zone, and feed off the energy and knowledge of others. So thank you to all of you, it definitely made my day, and the last couple of months wonderful to work with you all! I’m looking forward to next year already! 

A special thank you to all that worked so hard to make the day happen, I’m sure it wasn’t  easy with all of the continuous changes, but once again you made it seem seamless, and fun was had by all. Thank you to all of you for your hard work, and dedication to make days like this happen.
