My most recent adventure was last Wednesday when I joined the Douglas County High School Quiz Bowl Team that Emily student manages to participate in High-Q. This is a local contest amoung Metro Atlanta High schools sponsered by WSBTV.
Our evening began at the Varisty! Then it took us over 30 minutes to go 2 miles to the tv station. There were some very nervous kids and parents trying to get there on time.
We all waited in a small are until everyone arrived. Perfect time for some candid shots!
Spencer was extremely impressed with the server room and had to take pictures on his phone.
We head into the studio and they gather the players and the alternates around to explain the rules
It was a bit dark and I really should have used a flash. Below are some additional shots of the studio
Getting every mics and a test round to make sure everyone understands the rules.
A small break before the show begins. Time for more pictures!
