ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 2024
MARCH MADNESS UPDATE:
If you’re standing up in Reporting Room, sit down, or these March Madness results will knock you off your feet! The opening Round of 32 was full of remarkable bracket busters. In the Wright Region, Mr. McKinney shocked the Chorus world by advancing as a 7-seed. But chaos truly reigned supreme in the Keith Region, as we lost both a 1- and 3-seed, as Ms. Negri advanced, and Mrs. Chestney is going full Caitlyn Clark by giant slaying as a 9-seed. Will today’s Round of 32 conclusion be filled with similar drama? Vote early and decide for yourself!
