Individual Districts Information

Individual Districts Saturday February 27
• Bus leaves at 7:00 – BE HERE AT LEAST 15 MINUTES PRIOR TO THAT!!! We have 5 students performing within 10 minutes of the 8:00 start time. We need time to get there, to get situated, and to find the centers.
• We will be at the MIDDLE School in Shen. PLEASE make your parents and anyone else going aware of that!
• Also, please be aware: Enter the building through the South Main entrance only. There will be a short walk to get from the parking lot to the middle school.
• Bring money for food – there is a concession stand at the school.
• Please remember that the attached schedule is TENTATIVE! If there are drops or something goes faster (if one of the performers doesn’t use the entire “maximum” time, for example) the times would be incorrect. Be at the center EARLY.
• NO PHOTOGRAPHING OR VIDEOTAPING ALLOWED WITHOUT WRITTEN CONSENT FROM THE STATE OFFICE. STUDENTS AND TEAM COULD BE DISQUALIFIED IF THAT OCCURS!! We have NEVER been allowed to photograph or videotape a performance in speech.
• Remember to turn off all cell phones when you are in the performance rooms.
• Please help keep noise low in the hallways. Make me proud! I know I have the best kids in the State, show it to everyone else!
• Do not plan on leaving with parents unless there is a prior commitment. Your parent MUST sign a paper with me beforehand. It’s important to stay to encourage and support your teammates.
• Parents are encouraged to attend if at all possible. There is a suggested $3 entrance fee for non-competitors.
