IESA Speech Squad

7th & 8th graders ONLY

Calling all actors! Speech Squad is back at Homer Jr. High! All members of the Speech Squad are required to FULLY MEMORIZE their script/staging prior to competing at the IESA Regional Contest. We will rehearse on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:10-3:30 in the HJH cafeteria starting September 10th. Rides should be waiting for pickup at 3:30pm if they are not taking the activity bus. 

Students will choose their event, partner/group, and script at our first rehearsal in order to have plenty of time to memorize and perfect their performances. Please note that since Speech is an IESA recognized activity, participants must be passing all courses in order to participate in practices and the Regional Contest. Students must accept the invite to Speech Squad Google Classroom after they have been signed up. All communication regarding schedule, regionals, etc. will be through Google Classroom. They will be given regional contest rules, staging information, and other important handouts via Google Classroom.

IESA REGIONAL CONTEST DATE: Saturday, November 9th *If student cannot attend, they cannot participate in Speech Squad. 

Registration will close Thursday, September 5th or when the maximum of 25 has been reached. No late registrants will be accepted. Our first rehearsal will be Tuesday, September 10th and is mandatory attendance since partners & scripts will be chosen. Any student not in attendance on will be assigned a partner & script by me or will have a monologue (solo) script.
