Mason Nov.14-18

Alright Speech kids, your feet are wet. We’re going to get you dunked like Achilles so your Trojan-like assault on Thornton this coming Saturday is good stuff. (That’s an allusion!)

  • Bring your critiques
  • Bring a copy of your MOST CURRENT script for me
  • Try to sign up for some time early in the week, and then later in the week.
  • If you are not memorized, we’re not meeting. You should have this stuff in your heads by now.

N.B. If it is your time to start rehearsal and I am working with someone else, DO NOT hesitate to interrupt us. If you don’t, we’ll keep going until someone does which may be through your entire time slot. Knock on the door and come in when you are scheduled to do so.

  • Be memorized. I don’t want to hear any excuses why you’re not. If you aren’t ready, then we are not rehearsing.

Great Tournament SATURDAY!  Congrats to everyone who broke and our Captains/Category leaders who did such a great job getting everyone ready!  Yeah Wildcat SpeechTeam 🙂

If Saturday’s competitors have time – could you bring in your critiques Monday or Tuesday?  I will copy them and give them right back to you.  I will follow up with written feedback OR we can meet Friday.

Okay – so I am going to try and cram all 12 sessions into Monday and Tuesday because I have P/T conference until 8:30 on Wednesday and Thursday.  I can only remember one prescheduled time that I agreed to – if you can’t make it during one of the times listed, email me and I will see if I can work something out.  Perhaps we could meet on Friday either at school or at the 95th street library.

La Scola : 11/7 to 11/11

  • I need to see categories this week due to Parent/Teacher conferences Wednesday and Thursday.
  • My focus will be on the varsity members since they will be performing for the first time this week.
  • Category leaders— please make sure you are working with novices as much as time allows. Since students are off  Thursday and Friday, that would be a good time to schedule time to meet at a nearby Starbucks or a someone’s house for rehearsals.
  • Finally, be memorized — Not enough people have been memorized and there is no excuse for that at this point. BE MEMORIZED. Are you feeling my hint here?!
  • If you performed on Saturday, bring your critiques.

Monday
2:45 – 3:15 – Team Meeting
3:15 – 4:30 – DEC Category
4:30 – 5:45 – Impromptu Category

Tuesday
2:45 – 4:00 – SOS Category
4:00 – 5:15 – Extemp Category

WEEK OF Nov. 7 – Nov.11
We have a whacky week what with parent teacher conferences and Veteran’s Day so pay close attention to what is happening with rehearsals. We are meeting as categories this week. *BUT* we are meeting as category buddies. Check out the schedule to see what I mean. We will use this time to look at critiques, hear from the varsity members that went to go see the novices, and have some general discussions on how to practice WELL.

Check back for any other information.
