And the week you all dread almost as much as the state series…DGS two-day event.

No excuses. Work. Work. Work. This is crunch time for pieces; work the kinks out of the scripts, tape yourself and watch what you do well and what you need to improve, record your voice (radio people) to hear the mistakes and fix those issues that just don’t “seem” right; they probably need fixing.

Practice. Practice. Practice.

Check before you click “post” to be sure no one else has your desired time slot.
