The Invitational goes on rain or shine.  Team members should bring a clipboard, a mechanical pencil or pen, and some paper to take notes on.  A thin sheet of plastic to cover your clipboard papers would be a good idea if rainy weather is encountered.  An art supply store or commercial copy center like Kinkos would have thin sheet plastic or plastic laminate that could be cut to the size of your clipboard.

A pair of safety glasses is required for each team member and coach/chaperone unless the participant wears glasses.  States must provide safety glasses for each team member and coach/chaperone.  The Invitational will provide a hard hat for each participant.  As a point of safety, team members and coaches will be expected to wear their hard hat and safety glasses any time they are in the field at Jackson's Mill.  Hard hats will be distributed to participants at registration/check-in and will be collected prior to the Awards Banquet.

Insect repellant and a flashlight are also suggested.

Clothing for the Awards Banquet
Many state delegations consider it appropriate to wear a coat and tie or a nice dress to the Awards Breakfast.  It is your option, but when you're representing your state away from home, do your best to look your best.
