Go Novice Radio and Impromptu with all novices winning a medal at DGS!! Also, props out to Hailey and Roshni for making finals at Wheaton North—solid start for LP.

Radio team — if this is a “prep at home” meet, you should be using stories that are NO MORE than one week old (that requirement goes for novices as well). I want to hear a full broadcast from all of you (and, of course, see critiqe sheets).

Impromptu — we will be practicing with words and/or quotes this week. You just never know :O)

Finally, I am trying very hard to stay on schedule, which means I want to try and wrap things up at the 25 minute mark of our rehearsal time to provide you with this week’s “takeaway advice” — we all have goals for the season and this is mine :O)

Who I need to see:
Surbhi (1)
Brody and Janelle (2)
Roshni (1)
Hailey (1)
Anjali and Devin) (I signed you two up for the last slot together for 45 mins. If that is a prob, email a comment to me and I will try to see you at another time during the week)

First week under our belts and the fun continues this week for all team members.

As was the case last week, no rehearsals can take place in the building on Wednesday, Nov. 11 (that will be the final night of parent/teacher conferences. You can obviously practice at any other location though!!)

Radio team — if this is a “prep at home” meet, you should be using stories that are NO MORE than one week old (that requirement goes for novices as well). I want to hear a full broadcast from all of you.

Impromptu — we will be practicing with words this week. If you feel quotes are your weak point, then tell me and you can practice with quotes instead. Novices can rehearse with whatever their critiques suggested were areas to improve.

Finally, I am trying very hard to stay on schedule, which means I want to try and wrap things up at the 25 minute mark of our rehearsal time to provide you with this week’s “takeaway advice” — we all have goals for the season and this is mine :O)

Here is the information you need for Saturday’s tournament at Downers Grove North!

Who’s going?

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

When will it end?

We should be home around 6:30p.

Extemp and Radio?

Extemp will prep twice at the tournament and once for finals.

Radio will prep at home the day before.

What time should you be at Neuqua?

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

ATTENTION:

This week we will be meeting on Tuesday to go over our material. I will be out of town on Monday or else we would be meeting both days.

As previously discussed my expectations are that the pieces are fully memorized and blocked out. If you need a prompter any later than this upcoming Tuesday it is going to be impossible to move forward with your piece. Our time together is precious and we shall not waste it.

Due to the upcoming visit to DGN, those who are competing will have first priority; otherwise you will be working amongst yourselves and via mine and the category leaders instructions. With that being said here is who I need to see:

3:45-4:25 Shreya Sridhara (POE)

4:30-5:10 Sydney and Chloe (DDA)

5:15-5:45 Alex Warner (POE)

5:45-6:15 Apurva and Bryson (DDA)

Thank you all very much!

Please make sure to email me for any further questions and make sure to CC the category leader.

ATTENTION –
There is a full team meeting Monday in the Speech room, located in the D-wing at Main. Please be on time and attentive to what your captains and coaches are saying.

It was exciting to see the new faces and hear the new Impromptu and Radio speakers perform last week. Well done, category leaders (Surbhi and Hailey) and team members for helping prepare the novices the NV Speech way!

This week, since none of the varsity members (except Brody) are performing at DGN, I am going to combine some rehearsal times. We will meet in D205.

Also, I know that Mehta has posted this, but please remember if you are planning on rehearsing on Thursday, Nov. 5, you must do so out of school as it is Parent/Teacher conference night. Also, on Friday, Nov. 6, you cannot get into the building until 3:00 for the same reason.

Who I need to see:
Surbhi (1)
Brody (1)
Roshni and Janelle (1 together)
Hailey (1)
Anjali and Devin (1 together)
