  1. SPEECH SEASON 2013-2014!!!! Coaches: Mrs. Willms—Large Group Mrs. Cummings—Individual

  2. WHY? • The philosophy is built upon the belief that no form of activity is any more important than that of learning to speak effectively.

  3. Our Rules • Practices will be determined by the students’ schedules along with the coach. However, the minimum is once each week. Failure to meet with the coach, may result in removal from the team. • If students decide not to go to a competition, they are responsible for reimbursement of entry fees.

  4. More Rules….. • We expect students to attend all contests whether involved or not. This is how we support our teammates. Whenever possible, students should remain at contest until the team’s final performance. • Show choir—we work around this schedule, but parents are responsible for transportation • Reminder….grades count.

  5. Dates to Remember • Monday, January 20—WaMacConference for Large Group @ Marion • Usually begins around 4 and goes roughly until 9 • 2 Judges • “Glorified practice” but we do compete for the trophy. Thursday, January 23—Speech Showcase for Large Group @ MS AP room beginning at 7 P.M.

  6. More Dates • Saturday, January 25—Large Group Districts • Location TBA in December • All day event—beginning at 8:00 until 4:00 • 1 judge—gives oral comments to enhance performance • Must receive a Division I rating in order to qualify for State. • I—Excellent • II—You did well, but you are not prepared enough for state competition • III—usually only used if the judge wants to make a point. • IV—means a disqualification

  7. Best of the Best • Saturday, February 8—State Large Group • All day event • 3 judges • Need at least 2 “I” ratings from judges in order to receive a “I” overall. • Judges will nominate performances as the “Best of Show.” If at least 2 judges nominate you, you are selected for Allstate. • ALLSTATE—BEST of the Best in the state. This is not a goal, but an added perk. • Allstate for Large Group is on Saturday, February 22.

  8. Individual Dates • Saturday, February 15—WaMac—top 5 receive medals—held here at CPU!!! • Saturday, March 1—Districts • Saturday, March 15—State • Monday, March 31—Allstate Festival

  9. Did you say we’re hosting? • YES!!!! • We will need plenty of help from you! • Jobs include room chairs, timers, runners, hallway monitors • More information will come.

  10. Contest Etiquette • Arrive early—if your child is schedule at 9:30, they could go early. On the other hand, they could be late as well. Just have patience! • Admission—Recommended $3 donation • Do not wear CPU apparel. The judges should not be able to identify a performer’s school. • Results are usually posted in the gym after the performance. • If you take your student home, please make sure I see you sometime that day. • If your student wants to ride with someone else other than you, go through the activities’ office.

  11. Hmmm..What Else? • This team has a history of being great ambassadors for CPU. As the coaches, we are excited for another successful season. Here’s what students need to do to achieve excellence… • Practice • Have fun • Practice • Support your team • Did we mention Practice???
