Inauguration Night

The Honorable Dennis J. Curran, Associate Justice of the Massachusetts Superior Court, will preside over Inauguration Night at Massachusetts Boys State, and will administer the oath of office to all of our newly elected Boys State officials. Each elected official will then address the Boys State citizenry one final time. We will be sure to take plenty of photos, as well as a clip or two of their speeches, all for posting later this evening.

Thursday night at Boys State is traditionally a social night for Boys Staters. No municipal or other business following Inauguration. Counselors collect money for pizza and soda and allow Boys Staters an ounce more of freedom in celebration of a productive and successful week.

In addition to Inauguration photos and video, we were able to catch an interview with Boys State Governor Doug Dame in the afternoon before his Candidates Forum speech and debate. If and when that finishes uploading, we'll post that up.

Inauguration runs from 8:00-10:00, so we will try to have something up by 11:00 or so.

Unfortunately, although all other problems with video seem to be fixed, the Doug Dame interview is still unplayable. I looked into it with the Google Video people, and problems aren't uncommon for larger video that needs to use a special uploader, as this one does.

Sorry. I'll keep trying.
