Shawn,

Thanks for the response. While there are some issues to consider in point 1 and 2, I always look forward to that big stage feel with emotions running high and kids reaching inside themselves for that spotlight performance. The parade and recognition awards are great but along with the one-of-a-kind stage, it's priceless. Your last two points are definitely positives. Although as coaches, we have to remember that we are 3rd in this sport. For me, I'll give up the comforts for the big splash the the kids get.
