TECH OLYMPICS
Your team can be as small as two people to as large as 11 members.  We will be rotating through three theaters this year to complete this challenge, so it is important your kids know which event they are doing.  But you will be rotating as a complete group. 

​THE EVENTS
EVENTS IN THE LARGE BLACK BOX

1. THE LIGHT FOCUS:  One tech must focus a light to fit a shape that is taped on the wall.  

2. THE QUICK CHANGE: Two techs must swap our actor out of one costume and into their second costume as fast as they can. 

3. THE SET CHANGE:  Two techs break down and put away properly one set and the set up the next scene as fast as they can without breaking anything.

EVENTS IN THE LARGE THEATER 

4.  THE 2x4 SLALOM:  One tech while carrying five water bottles must weave their way through standing 2x4's forwards and then backwards.  Time will be added for each 2x4 that is knocked over. 

5. THE SCREW SORT:  This is for one tech. The bane of have nothing to do, techs know this challenge all too well.  You will have a bucket of screws that must be sorted by size and type while people yell encouraging words. 

6. REVERSE JENGA: This is for two techs.  A pile of 30 2x4's of three different sizes have be left on one side of the stage.  First they must be moved to the other side and then stacked no wider than 2 2x4's in width.  You are done when you have them all stacked and stable.
