Track ThursdayEvening: Thursday Evening – Thursday 22 March

Join our evening of fun and music featuring our second “Battle Decks Spectacular!” Also known as “PowerPoint Karaoke,” our willing participants make a coherent presentation based on hand-selected, seemingly unrelated slides that they see for the first time live on stage. After a musical interlude, the participants face judgment, with the winner to be determined based on overall awesomeness. Hilarity, along with some learning, is guaranteed for all! And continue the fun at our after-Battle Decks Karaoke party in remembrance of our CIL days in Crystal City!
