"The secret is working as a whole group", according to team member Quinn. With Quinn is Anjelica, Will,Tess, and Parker, a group of 4th and 5th graders from Wilkins Elementary School.

"I learned lots of improv techniques. I learned that teamwork is a VERY important part of DI in all challenges", said Will.

Parker claims to be able to now "make anything out of newspaper and duct tape. I made new friends by being on the team. I hope to do it again next year with the same team".

Watching this team together, you know it's all true, and they're in for an amazing experience. Anjelica " learned how many things you could do with everyday objects". And Tess drove it home: "I learned how important it is to work as a team and to have fun! I think going to Globals will be a great, very fun time! Our team gets to represent New Hampshire, give another wonderful performance, and have a grand time together in Tennessee! "

Team managers Craig Richardson and Brenda Ryan have had the privilege of watching five very different individuals grow into a single, cohesive team of performers. At first, the children's goal was to finish among the top teams at the Merrimack regional tournament, and perhaps advance to the NH state tournament.
