The Showmanship judges have a pre-cookoff meeting where teams can serenade them, perform skits, or anything else they think would win them favor. For 2003, a number of the team members discussed the upgraded Jello-shot Delivery System (JDS) v1.1.

At the end of the day, we grab the booth, stacked neatly in my garage each year, load it in a couple pickup trucks, and haul it over to the Gilruth Center for setup. It's done in a couple of hours.
 The "before" picture. |
 First, frame the base and put in the support structure. |
 Then put in the floor. |
 Add a couple of walls, which fit into pre-cut slots in the floor. |
 Next, install the balcony floor, which gives the walls support. |
 Put up the front of the booth and add the ladder in back. |
 Install railings in front and on the balcony. |
 The main part of the booth is complete! |
 Start putting up the thatched roof support beams. |
 Behind the booth, our tent is set up. |
 Add thatched roof, using discarded palm fronds. |
 Install Jello Shot Dispenser, surfboards, bikinis, and trophies (done on the day of the cookoff). |
 Last but not least, install team!. | |
Once we're done with the booth, it's over to the Cut-Up Party, where we distribute the shirts that we made last week, polish off the skit and assign parts, cut up the meat and veggies, and make the jello shots.
