Neuqua Valley Speech Team

For anyone interested in learning more about Speech Team and auditioning for it, here are the dates you need to know!

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

2:45p, Monday, September 23, in the Main Campus LMC

2:45p, Tuesday, September 24, in the Gold Campus Forum Room

…

Auditions will take place Wednesday, Sep. 25 (starting at 3:00p) and Thursday, Sep. 26 (starting at 2:45p) in D219. You only need to come on ONE of those days and you don’t need to prepare anything. We’ll have scripts ready for you to use.

…

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

…

As always, contact Coach Mehta if you have any questions.

For anyone interested in attending the Neuqua Valley Speech Team Summer Camp, you can download the application here (PDF)!

The camp is for current team members, incoming freshmen, and anyone else interested in learning more about public speaking.

A few things to note:

• The camp will take place August 5^th-9^th from 8:00-11:00a
• The activities at camp will change from the past. We’re still working out the exact details, but rest assured these changes will benefit everybody!
• The cost is $175 and all checks should be made out to Wildcat Speech.
• If you are interested in attending, please let me know ahead of time so I can get the appropriate amount of materials.

The banquet is this Thursday night starting at 5:30p. It’ll take place at Tamarack Golf Club (just like last year). You should have already turned in your money!

Dinner will include pizza/pasta/brownies/cookies and we should be done by 8:30p.

1) Our next team meeting is Monday, February 25^th, after school!

2) If you are interested in applying for Team Captain, you must fill out this form and turn it in to Mehta (in D100) by Monday, February 25^th. (Only current sophomores and juniors may apply.)

(Please include your email address somewhere in the application. I forgot to ask for it!)

3) I need your banquet money by Tuesday, February 26^th. It’s $14/person (feel free to bring family members!) and checks should be made out to Wildcat Speech. You can drop the money off (in an envelope) to Mehta in D100. The banquet will take place at Tamarack Golf Club on Thursday night, March 7^th.

4) I need all the scripts you used this season in every event (except limited prep). This includes novices, too! You will not be allowed to attend the banquet until I have the final version of your script! Please send them to me ASAP.

Here’s the link (PDF) of who’s leaving Thursday night and who’s leaving Friday night.

If you’re leaving Thursday night, please be ready to go in the auditorium lobby at 6:15p.

If you’re leaving Friday morning, please be ready to go in the auditorium lobby at 7:15a.

I’m sorry we can’t take all of you Thursday night (*cue grumbles from angry people*) but this will work best for everyone involved. Thanks for understanding! We’ll see each other Friday afternoon before the tournament 🙂

The bus for Downers Grove South leaves at 6:30a this Saturday! Be there early!

Hi everyone! We have a team meeting after school on Monday and we have the Sectional runthrough on Thursday night from 6:00-9:00p in the large forum room. That is a mandatory event but you are welcome to invite your family to it!
