Sectionals week

It's Sectionals week, and for a local radio station in Indiana, that's a pretty big deal. This time around Munster High student Christina Cortez and I are putting together a little film of what Sectionals week is like in local Indiana radio. Christina says it'll be easier when we go back to edit if I keep a little timeline of my activities. So here goes.
