We're just a few minutes away from the start of the live spelling rounds. You can watch on ESPN3, follow us on social media, or on this interactive map.
Here at the Gaylord, our first group of spellers is on stage, placards around their necks. Parents are gathered around the stage, taking pictures and videotaping their spellers. Music is blasting in the background -- we're bopping our heads to "It's Time" by Imagine Dragons and "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen.
Best of luck to all the spellers. We're rooting for you.
