Hey everyone,
I don't know if you want to send this out to your teachers or
make the schedule available to your parents in case they want to
come watch the
Odyssey competition. But, here is the information!
On Saturday, March 14th, Odyssey of the Mind will be holding
their Re-gional Tournament at Erie High School. Our Erie schools
have 11 teams
competing from Kindergarten through 12th grade! Below is a
schedule of times for their performances. Each group has to put
together an 8-minute
skit that shows the solution to their problem in a creative way.
Scripts, costumes, props, and sets are all created by the team with
no adult assis-
tance. I have included problem synopses below. If you have time
on PI day, stop by and watch our wonderful kids!
Problem 3: Classics Pandoras Box: In this classics problem,
teams will put a video game spin on the story of Pandoras Box. A
gamer character will take on this multi-level game in-spired by the
Greek myth. The game will include a prologue that depicts
the original story of Pandoras box, three characters
representing different evils that escaped the box, and a power
meter that represents the gamer
characters health. To beat the game, the player will advance to
the final level where it will release hope into the world.
Problem 5: Silent Movie
In this problem, teams will create and present a performance
depicting a
Director character that produces and presents a silent movie
featuring a humorous villain character that commits three silly
acts of villainy. Char-acters that are in the movie may not speak
as part of the presentation of the movie. Instead, like classic
silent films, the team will use music played
on a team-created instrument and creatively displayed subtitles
to convey its story to the audience and judges. Also, teams will
use a signal to indi-
cate when the movie begins and ends.
