Neuqua Valley Speech Team

If you’re new to the team, you should come to ONE of the following informational meetings:

Monday, Aug. 29 at 2:45p in the Main Building in the LMC!

Tuesday, Aug. 30 at 2:45p in the Birkett Freshman Campus Chorus Room, H111!

Auditions will take place for Varsity members on Wed., Sep. 7 (starting at 3:15p) and for everyone else on Wed. and Thurs. Sep. 7-8. All new members can sign up for an audition slot right here.

Everyone will need to read the audition packet and fill out The Form! All of that information can be found right here.

If you’re wondering what you may be reading during auditions, that packet can be found right here. (You don’t need to memorize this. We’re only posting this so you’re not surprised at auditions!) Auditions will take place in B223.

We will post the new team members on this site by Friday night, Sep. 9.

…

If you’re unable to make it to the audition date, or you have any other questions, please contact Coach Mehta.

For anyone interested in attending the Wildcat Speech Team Summer Camp, all the information you need is below!

The camp is for current team members, incoming freshmen, and anyone else in high school or middle school interested in learning more about public speaking. We will be following all district COVID requirements regarding masks, vaccines, etc. (Details to come later this summer!)

Important things to note:

• The camp will take place August 1-4 from 8:00-11:00a each day. (There is no camp on Friday!)
• We will have separate tracks for new and returning campers so that everyone is working on the skills that will most benefit them
• The cost is $140 and all checks should be made out to Wildcat Speech. (Students will bring the check to Camp on the first day.)
• Your participation in this Summer Camp does not automatically guarantee you a spot on the 2022-23 Neuqua Valley Speech Team. It will, however, make you a better public speaker, and that is a skill you’ll be able to use on and off the team!

If you are interested in attending, please fill out this form as soon as possible! (We’ll be in touch with you at the end of July with more details.)

If you have any other questions, let Coach Mehta know.

Can’t wait to see you in the fall!

Thanks to Liza for putting this together!
