Neuqua Valley Speech Team

Hello everyone! I hope that this weekend was an eye opener. A very few things were screwy, but by and large, we got exactly what we prepared for. From what I saw on the critiques, none of the notes from the judges are anything new. Some are the exact things we have been telling you from the first practice.

Notice that the slots are an hour. Notice that there are very few of them. I’m not seeing everyone I usually do. I have given you plenty of feedback to work on and incorporate already. Do it and come back after break with some of those changes made.

I need to meet with this week…

Monika (HI)
Natalie (HI)
Avni (Dec)
Michaela (Dec)
Newby and Rappe (DDA)
Nuyen and Karbonik (DDA)

Bring someone to videotape you on your cell phone for rehearsal purposes.

Please don’t sign up for a later time unless all the slots before it are full.

• Bring your pieces (AND A SEPARATE SCRIPT FOR ME) ready to go!
• Bring your critiques!
• YOU NEED TO BE MEMORIZED.  NO EXCUSES!

Hello All:

This is the last weekend of meets of 2014; no meet again until January 11 (amazing!!!!) This will also be a time where you have to start thinking if this is the last time you are going out with this piece and changes are needed.

If you are NOT competing this Saturday, please let me know so I can fill the time slot with someone who is competing on 12/13. Thank you in advance on this.

Also a reminder, acknowledge the time slot taken and conclude as close to the end time you signed up for, otherwise everyone else is behind; we all have other obligations that must be respected.
