The party was epic! We watched all of Scholastic World and Independent World. All the while, we sipped on Champagne and mimosas, snacked on tasty delights (the likes of which will never be available at the UD Arena Concession stands!), played WGI Trivia, clapped for things we liked, got a little snarky about things we didn't and laughed, and laughed and laughed.
The company was amazing. To be in one room with so many individuals with such interesting and diverse histories in this activity was just incredible. The color guard geek in me was about ready to burst with happiness.
Thank you so much to all who came. As Philip said, "Now THAT is the way to do WGI!".

Philip toasting with champagne. Instead of leaving the room during a "hot dog guard" (a guard who is not particularly interesting) we instead headed back to the kitchen for another round of champagne!
The gang watching WGI!
David doing the honors of pouring more champagne!
Oh how I wish i had been there. Sounds like such fun and so civilised!!!
ReplyDeleteInstead I stayed up all night (time difference) and watched it with 40 Mayflower people!
Rob - We would have loved to have had you join us! Sounds like you must have had a good time with 40 friends from Mayflower!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could plan a WGI Vacation out to SF one of these years?
