Novice Turnout

A photo from the novice recruitment meeting.  We had a fabulous turn out.  New novice participants be looking for an email from the speech account in the next day or so with more information to get you ready for the team.  If you were unable to attend the meeting last night and would like more info please email the speech team and we will get that out to you!  We look forward to seeing you at our first practice on November 6th!

Monday, October 13th Practice

Those that are attending Park Hill need to be memorized and ready to perform their piece on Monday's practice.  Those that are not attending this meet MUST turn in their cuttings if they haven't already by Sunday, October 19th.  We will begin performing pieces for practice the following week.  Several of you are attending Sioux Falls meet on November 7th so we need to be ready to compete.

THURSDAY's PRACTICE OCTOBER 9th

The high school is booked up and the rooms that we were going to use in VV are also booked.  So we will be moving practice off site to our local Starbucks! (We chose this to help those already practicing here!)  Practice will begin at 7:30 and run no later then 8:45. 

Things to have:
  • Laptop or internet device for cutting and revising.
  • tape, scissors, paper for actual cutting of the piece.
  • Original source
  • Work ethic.
Our first meet is ONE WEEK away and we want to be ready to go.  We need to use our time wisely and efficiently.
