Today the Treasure Trackers medallion was found at the Sullivan South Band’s Practice Field on the “Band Director’s Perch”. Once again, the medallion was found after only one clue was given out.
Clue #1: Practice makes perfect, so they say. Fall will come soon and tunes to play.
Just like yesterday, this is a very straightforward clue. High School marching bands play music in the fall during football season, and the first part of the clue makes it clear that the medallion was hidden at the place where the band practices. It was just a matter of who picked the correct school.
At this point, I have mixed feelings about how the treasure hunt is going this year. The clues aren’t bad, because they narrow down where the medallion is hidden while at the same time possibly leading to several different locations. However, unlike last year, the clues aren’t tricky enough to make you stop and think very long before figuring out what they mean. For instance, the clues on the first day of last year’s treasure hunt had me trying to figure out what the Queen City was, researching mascots for local schools, and even surmising that the one of the clues was a reference to the TV show “Saved By The Bell”. This year, the clues are more straightforward, and don’t require much analysis. I guess you could say that the main requirement for finding the medallion so far this year is a knowledge of the area’s geography as opposed to a knowledge of trivia. I wish the first clue was a little harder to figure out, because I like for the treasure hunt to go longer into the day instead of always being found first thing in the morning.
I’m anxious to see the clues for the rest of the week. Be sure to stop by again tomorrow for a discussion of Wednesday’s Treasure Trackers!
Remember, my blog isn’t the official source of clues for Treasure Trackers. I just like to discuss the event and analyze the clues after the medallion is found each day. You can get the clues as they are announced at www.treasuretrackers.net.
