Neuqua Valley Speech Team

Here’s the schedule for Saturday!

The bus leaves Neuqua at 6:30a.

The rest of the day should be as follows:

8:30a: Round 1A
9:45a: Round 1B
11:15a: Round 2A
12:30p: Round 2B
2:30p: Final A
4:00p: Final B
5:30p: Awards

We should be back home by 7:00p.

Since some of you have asked what time you (or others) will be performing, a tentative schedule is below. We will start around 6:00p and try to keep downtime low! You can try to approximate the time for your performance, but you all know how schedules like this must be flexible. Let me know if there are any problems.

CONGRATULATIONS, NEUQUA SPEECH!!!!! WE’RE SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!

Everyone broke through to Sectionals – this is a great accomplishment, and you should be proud of yourselves. 🙂 Those of you who helped run the tournament, a huge thank you from all four of us.

As in previous weeks, Mehta and I will be rehearsing together. Since we didn’t get a chance to see you all last week (silly snow), expect us to be harder on you (George…) – unless you make me laugh. But seriously, we do want to see everyone!

Here’s who needs to sign up – everyone gets an hour block! Bring critiques and scripts, please. BE MEMORIZED… OR ELSE!!! (George…again…)

Be thinking about things that you can do to become more your character . . . 🙂

We will be rehearsing this week the following times:

Tuesday:  2:45 – 4:15
Wednesday: 3:15 – 4:45
Thursday (no rehearsal, but be available after school)
Friday (Sectional Run Through, Dress Rehearsal)

Congratulations again!

Lietz & La Scola

Because you have no school on Thursday…

Here’s the revised plan for Friday:

• Practice on your own! That should be obvious. To Kelsey and Joy, feel free to send me your revised scripts. To everyone on the Regional team, email me if you have any questions about your script(s).
• There will be no Regional Runthrough this week.
• PIR will rehearse Friday in the Gold Building.
• Everyone else on the team is expected to be at the Gold Building (in the Forum Room) at 3:00p on Friday afternoon. We will need your help to get the rooms ready to go.
• If anyone on the Regional Team wants me to see them before Saturday, I urge you to stick around Friday night after we’re done preparing for the tournament and I can work with you then.

Finally, to everyone competing at Regionals: I must have a few things from you on Friday. Here’s what I need:

DDA: The original script or the actual book!
DI: The book
ES: Nothing
HDA: Nothing
HI: Nothing
IS: Nothing
Info: The most revised script
Dec: Nothing
OC: The most revised script
OO: The most revised script
Poe: Nothing
PR: Nothing
RS: Nothing
SOS: The most revised script

No school… the week of regionals. Oh boy.

Here’s the revised plan:

• If you had a rehearsal with me and Blanchard, those have been canceled. PLEASE practice on your own, especially those of you who know you need to make some revisions. You can all email me if you have any questions about your script.
• We will still have the Regional Runthrough Thursday after school. Everyone on the team is expected to attend!
• PIR will rehearse Thursday after school (you won’t attend the Runthrough). If you need to rehearse Friday in the Gold Building, you can do that, too.

Finally, to everyone competing at Regionals: I must have a few things from you on Thursday. Here’s what I need:

DDA: The original script or the actual book!
DI: The book
ES: Nothing
HDA: Nothing
HI: Nothing
IS: Nothing
Info: The most revised script
Dec: Nothing
OC: The most revised script
OO: The most revised script
Poe: Nothing
PR: Nothing
RS: Nothing
SOS: The most revised script

If you have any pictures of the team during practice, tournaments, or anywhere in between, please send them to Rebekah for the end-of-the-year banquet slideshow!

Alrighty, folks, here we go… not tons of time to rehearse this week, but we’ll fit as much in as we can!
