Friday

2:45 – 6:45 Last-minute practices for ***everyone***

Holy Toledo!!! All categories made it out of Regionals. First and second place finishes by all 14 categories. Best score is NV Speech history (80 of a possible 84). You really all did keep on keeping on to Sectionals.

Critiques this week matter. They are much more vetted judges picked because of their experience in speech. Take that to heart as you read what they wrote. Each meet is a new meet. Take each moment of the meet one round at a time. You can only control one thing…yourself.

Breathe……

Please bring a copy of your script and be memorized.

Sruthi (1)
Roshni (1)
Janelle (1)
