Well everyone, we’re still here. And it’s pretty obvious that we’re running way, way behind schedule this year AND Mile High Stampede is a week earlier than normal. Nonetheless, we’re here and MHS 2010 is going to be as awesome as ever, we promise!
BE PREPARED TO BE AWESOME-IZED!
Well everyone, it’s finally here. As I write this it’s about 1:50 AM and I’ve just finished getting the Round One Update Video posted. If you missed the worship rally, you really missed something awesome. The music was awesome and the spirit of God fell in a really powerful way on the service. There were young people dancing in the altar and worshiping God with passion and sincerity that made a very big impact on me. I’m too exhausted to write more right now, but check back tomorrow after I’ve had a chance to sleep! Check out the video update and check back here often over the next couple of days and weeks as we get more videos, pictures an audio posted!
Well folks, it’s been 10 whole days since we last spoke to each other and a lot has happened. Our musicians got together for their first practice and I gotta say - it’s sounding awesome. Really awesome. Seriously, you don’t even know. We also went shopping for food and spent a LOT of time working on a really special surprise. Our DJ has, I’m sure been cracking his knuckles and doing whatever kind of finger stretching and warm-ups that DJs do…I think it probably has something to do with playing paper football.
Check the website for some new videos and pictures coming this week. 11 DAYS!!! ARE YOU READY?!?!
Brother Bobby Long, National Junior Bible Quizzing Quizmaster will be attending MHS this year as the Junior Quizmaster. He will available Thursday night after the worship rally (during the ice cream social) to answer questions and will be holding a session on Friday during the day for all the coaches who will be able to make it. Check back soon for details…
Well…it’s been a while since I’ve written a blog. I’ve been busy. We’ve been working hard trying to tie up all the loose ends for the Stampede. We’re ordering the trophies today. They are gonna be pretty sweet. We have a special surprise for all of ya’ll that make the all tournament team, so get your study on!
If you didn’t get the email, we have an opportunity to have Bro Bobby Long come and be a quizmaster at the Stampede this year. We are trying to raise the money to get him here. So if you’re willing to donate, send an email or if you have mine or Michael’s number, give us a call!
I hope all of you are excited about the coming event. We’ve got some awesome music lined up for the worship rally. We also have some awesome ice cream lined up. A very well known ice cream company is giving us a discount. You don’t want to miss it.
I haven’t really checked, but has anyone bought a T-Shirt? I got one! I love it! If you haven’t checked them out, get the link from the website and put your order in so you have a shirt for the tournament! I’m wearing mine to the the worship rally! Woop.

We have been asked by several teams if we will have shirts this year, and we’re happy to order shirts - but we can only get them if 100 people order. So if you’d like a shirt post a comment and get in touch with us to place an order.
“If I were in charge of Mile High Stampede, I would…”
Some answers we already received were “…Invite all area youth to the rally, not just the quizzers.” and “make the coaches of the teams quiz during the tournament sometime.”
