Here is the information you need for Saturday’s tournaments at Wheaton North and Downers Grove South!

Who’s going?

The tentative roster can be found here. Please let me know if there are any problems!

When will it end?

Wheaton North: We should be home around 6:30p.

DGS: We should be home around 3:30p. (There is no final round.)

Extemp and Radio?

Wheaton North: Extemp will prep twice at the tournament. Radio will prep at home the day before. Both events will prep again for finals.

DGS: Extemp will prep three times at the tournament. Radio will prep at home the day before.

What time should you be at Neuqua?

Wheaton North: Bus leaves at 6:30a. Be there early!

DGS: Bus leaves at 7:00a. Be there early!

1) All the results can be found on SpeechWire (if you’d like to share them with friends).

2) A girl left boots at the tournament. Mehta has them.

3) Someone left a copy of The House on Mango Street at the tournament. Mehta has it.

4) Someone left some money in the bleachers. Mehta has it. (If no one claims it, it will go in the Speech account.)

5) No team meeting this week! But keep checking this site for updates!

Bear in mind the reduced schedule this week.

Working with an un-memorized piece is like watching a square roll down a hill. It goes slow, nothing really happens, and I get bored. Almost a month after auditions memorization is a must.

This weekend novices head off to DGS and varsity partake in Wheaton North, our first tournament of the year. Novices must be ready!!! But a number of varsity are competing as well. The season is under way!

Please bring a fresh and updated copy of your script! Typed into a word document for ease of editing and ease of future use.

This grand week I would love to see:

Congrats on getting the first novice meet under your belts (well, a few varsity too!).

Due to the wack-a-doo schedule with school this week, I will meet with full categories, with the priorities on the varsity members who will be at their first meet this week. If the novices would like to attend, the more eyes on varsity peeps, the better.

All varsity members need to be as memorized as possible; after all, you will be the people who have to perform on Saturday 🙂

The Parent Night event will take place from 6:00 – 7:00p in C202 (the Main Building’s Forum Room).

Students are welcome to come, too (though they probably know most of the information by now).

See you then!

What excitement, what energy, what joy I feel as this schedule is constructed! The only thing that could possibly dampen this joy would be lack of memorization…

Working with an un-memorized piece is like watching a square roll down a hill. It goes slow, nothing really happens, and I get bored. Almost a month after auditions memorization is a must.

This weekend is DGN, our first tournament of the year. Novices must be ready!!! But a number of varsity are competing as well. The season is under way!

Please bring a fresh and updated copy of your script!
