What We Do A Week Before

Dear fans of Team YANTSU and the TrackingSanta show,

You probably wonder how we do it all every year and I will tell you the basics:

Step 1: Organize the first meeting several months beforehand.
Step 2: Keep consistent records of meetings and allow free discussion within the group meetings.
Step 3: Plan the last month ahead of time
Step 4: Finish up any advertising and planning
Step 5: Brief all members about final two days (this year on December 22)
Step 6: Test all systems one day prior (December 23)
Step 7: Track Santa all day on December 24 with NORAD Tracks Santa and complete any interviews with worldwide media
Step 8: Complete After-Action Reports and celebrate another great tracking season
Step 9: Wait until next year
Step 10: Repeat

It is a simple 10 step process that includes a lot of thorough work and dedication. All members of Team YANTSU put in almost a week in hours every year. We cover planning, debating, recording, interviews, entertainment, and best of all: Tracking. For all of us at Team YANTSU, we would like to welcome you to NORAD Tracks Santa 2011 and invite you to the TrackingSanta Show on December 24.

Happy Holidays,
