Hello All:

Okay—It’s time for novices to hit the road running and compete at DGN on Nov. 3! With that said, varsity and novices will be meeting together this week in category meetings.

Prose and SOS – I expect all competitors memorized, conveying as much emotion as possible.
Radio – You will prep from 2:15-3:00 in the LMC while teaching are meeting after school on Wednesday, Oct. 31 (yes, Halloween, but at least I will be in costume, so it will be hilarious!). Then we will meet in D203 for a mock “round”.

Monday, Oct. 29
2:45-3:00 – Team Meeting
3:00 – 4:15 – Prose

Tuesday, Oct. 30
No Rehearsals, but remember we have the evening parent meeting happening.

Wednesday, Oct. 31
3:00 – 4:15 – Radio

Thursday, Nov. 1
2:45-4:00 – SOS

Friday, Nov. 2
No Rehearsals — Practice then rest. Your first meeting is an exciting and exhausting day 🙂

Hi everyone! Looking forward to our category rehearsals this week.
