NDB community reflects on the postponement of Aquacades 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic

The Catalyst interviewed Quinn Meinhardt, senior, about what would have been Aquacades.

TC: Friday would have been Aquacades, but it was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. What do you have to say about that?

QM: I am definitely bummed about missing Aquacades, but obviously I understand why they had to cancel it and think they did so for the right reasons. I’m bummed, but it is what it is.

TC: If we come back to school before the end of the year, do you think Aquacades should be rescheduled or should it be canceled? If it’s rescheduled during the summer, would you be willing to come celebrate it then?

QM: So, I would be willing to come to Aquacades during the summer, but I also feel like part of the fun is having it during the school year and having the week leading up to it and having the excitement at school. So, I’m not totally sure if it would be worth it, especially logistically.

TC: People usually look at pictures or videos of last year’s Aquacades to learn what it’s about. One year from now, what do you want people to know about Aquacades?

QM: I mean I think it’s definitely one of those things where you have to really be there to understand what it is, and honestly, I don’t really want to try to explain it to anyone. I just want people to experience it for themselves.
