Neuqua Valley Speech Team

I was disappointed in the last sign up – a lot of you signed up for times that others had signed up for, times that didn’t exist, or didn’t sign up for the right number of rehearsals. Here are your new rules for signing up with me:

1. CHECK THE SCHEMATIC. DO NOT SIGN UP WITHOUT DOING SO. If it’s not posted, you wait until it is.

2. Double check your own schedule before you sign up for a time – please don’t make 203492830498 posts changing your times, it’s confusing for me. Also, make sure you’re signing up for a time that is actually posted.

3. Double check what others have posted – lots of people have double booked!

Some new rules for my coaching session sign ups.  READ CAREFULLY!!!!!

1. Look at the schematic to ensure you have a coaching session with me.  If you sign up for me before you have seen the schematic and mess up the system, I will be very upset.  I think I will make you run laps around the school.  No, I don’t think, I know I will make you pay for your actions.

2. Do not sign up for a later slot until the previous slots for that day have been filled.

3. Bring your critiques to your session.

4. Whenever you sign up for a coaching session please also include something I don’t know about you or a quick joke.

I have not yet seen the schematic for this week, I probably wont see it either for I am going to bed now.  If for some chance I have more than 20 coaching sessions, the people that did not get a spot should email me.  This should not be a problem, but you never know.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

Here is this week’s schematic!

Hey all!

As we wind down from our mini-break, it’s time to start thinking tournament and Winter Break mode.

Tournament This week

Rehearsals

As the coaches are very busy preparing for around 30 schools to descend upon us on Saturday, we will only be having double rehearsals with a few members. I’m trying to keep the rotation fair, so BE SURE TO CHECK THE SCHEMATIC BEFORE signing up. You may have a different coach and different number this week. If there is a problem, please DO NOT sign up. Contact a coach. Posting that there’s a problem 15 times will not get anything solved, and coaches don’t have the space for mix-ups.

BABIES:  You MUST bring critiques from your tournament to rehearsals, or you will be turned away!

Conflicts

Those who are not attending will not be getting rehearsals this week; however, make sure to keep working! This isn’t a punishment. We are merely trying to conserve space in such a busy week.

If you have conflicts, please be sure to contact me. I know a lot of people have Crystal and Y&G. I believe for Crystal, you can still help us out directly after school, as your call time isn’t until 5 or so. I promise, you won’t be here that long for set-up. Either way, contact me again, so I can make sure my list is updated.

Set-up

 Meet in B104 at 2:45 on Friday for instructions. You will be teamed off based on your category, and the main thing we need to get done is rooms. After rooms and cafeterias are done, we will release a large part of the team, and the remaining folk will help stuff registration packets. I anticipate us getting our by 5-6. Again, if you contact me, you will be allowed to leave, but CHECK OUT with a coach. Don’t just leave.

Thanks to Mehta for putting up our picture! It’s so cute!

I promise (as I always do…but then you wait) point board will be up soon.

Last week, captains picked a Geek of the Week. I would like to announce my geek of the week: JANELLE BROOKS… On her very first tournament, she actually biked all the way to school at 4:30 in the morning. THAT’S dedication! Sorry captains, but I win!

I look forward to getting back into the swing of things. I anticipate your rest and relaxation this weekend will give you some new energy in your pieces!

Mama C

Look up.

Here is the Wildchat from last weekend!

Read it and love it. Have a good break 🙂

Good morning, Speech Team!

With our tournament coming up quickly, we are in need of donations from your families – food (candy, chips, cream cheese), drinks (water, pop), and time (to sell concessions). If your parents were unable to attend Open House on Monday but are still interested in helping out with our December 5th tournament, please send me their e-mail addresses (erin_blanchard@ipsd.org). I will be contacting parents this weekend.

If your parents are unable to help on December 5th, please keep in mind that we are hosting regionals in February, and we will need your parents’ help with that, too!

So practice, relax, and enjoy your Thanksgivings! 🙂
