It will probably be a hectic day, and may be a little stressful as a result. Take some breaks if you need to. Keep in mind, you are the masters' of your own destiny. You will get out of this what you put in.
While each group will be competing to be the best, at the end of the day we are all on the same team and all want the same thing... to learn and have fun. Inclusion is an active word, meaning we must all make an effort to seek out then include, then respect, all view points and ideas. Everybody has something to learn from everyone if we just take the time to listen, or more importantly ask.
Remember: process over product. Focus on working well with your teammates, practicing what you've learned, and maybe exploring some new stuff. You can do this. I promise.
