Gold Round

In gold round, my team was second on the sample question (which the first team got wrong). This question was "Stand up and sing the AWANA theme song as a team." That was so much fun!! (even though both Rachel and Rose were slightly embarassed). When we stood up, I was wondering which key to sing in, and so when Shaney started us off it was a blessing. In this round, each question missed or right was very important, especially with only the top 5 teams being able to go on. One question that could have easily allowed us to go on if we had gotten it right was a list about something concerning believers, which Shaney stood up to answer, but couldn't figure it out. Even though we didn't get this question right, we did get a few right.
Multiple choice was really fun though... We got 100% right and we had an awesome quiz master who, when giving the answer for multiple choice questions, says "The correct answer is B! The correct answer is B!" or whatever the answer is. I had heard him last year, but Rose hadn't heard him yet and so when he started talking, she was so excited! In the round, she fell in love with him (not literally) and exclaimed "He's adorable!" One question in this round that could have also saved us was thrown out even though it was completely legit. Anyway, at the end of this round, we ended up in 6th by five points.. therefore missing platinum by 5 points.
This was the second time in my quizzing career where my team missed something by 5 points and so it was disappointing (the other time was in 8th grade where my team finished 2nd by 5 points).
