STN Practices

With our class completing the final STN practices before we head to the convention, I want to hear from you on how you feel your teams did.   I'd first like to hear about your STN contest team, the team that has been practicing for four times so far.  How has your team progressed from the very first practice?  Has your team improved?  Did your team experience any problems that you had to work out along the way?  Do you feel like you are contributing to the team or do you feel left out?  I'd like your honest evaluation of your role and your team as a whole.

For the Crazy 8's team, I'd like you to do the same thing. Obviously we haven't practiced as much so you only have Sunday's experience to go on, but how did it go?  What did you learn from the session?  What do you and your team need to improve upon for STN?  I'm interested in learning about how YOU felt the day went.
