We are bringing a total of 14 entries and 4 judges (1 parent, 1 alum of the team and 2 IUPUC students). It is bound to be a great time! Here is some information and some reminders about our meet this weekend:
- Please be in the band parking lot at CEHS at 5:20am on Saturday. The bus will depart promptly at 5:30am and if you are not on the bus, you will have to find your own transportation to Fishers High School.
- If your parent(s) are judging this weekend, they are welcome to ride the bus with you or you are welcome to ride with them. If you ride with them, you need to be at Fishers High School no later than 7:30am.
- This is going to be a potentially long day.
- Matt and I would estimate we should be back to East by 5:30pm, but there are no guarantees. We will stay all the way through awards.
- If you have plans for the evening, you can have a parent pick you up at Fishers when you are done competing -- but you need to provide us with a note when you get on the bus in the morning and your parent will need to come in, so Matt or Ann can see them.
- Things to bring to the speech meet:
- Professional attire to compete in (If you are concerned about your attire, please send Matt and I a picture before Friday evening)
- Comfy clothes to change into for the bus ride back to CEHS
- A blanket and pillow for the bus
- Your speech binder if you are competing in an interp event
- Your electronic device if you are competing in extemp
- Some snacks to get you through the day and maybe some to share with your teammates
- Some cash to buy lunch from the concession stand (Remember if we want people to buy from the concession stand at our meet, we need to buy from theirs)
- Bottled water
- Any games or decks of cards to play during down time (and there may be a lot)
- An open mind and a will to do well
- This is the first meet of the year and it is going to be a blast, even if it is a really long day!
As always if you have any questions, please contact me (860.836.0081) or Matt (812.343.7533). We are really excited (and a little nervous) to get this season kicked off and to spend time with you competing!
