What is Speech?
Speech, Debate and Drama has produced more than 15 individual state champions,since Appleby began coaching. It has garnered scholarships and college opportunities for many. The experience that you gain from Speech and Drama WILL make you a more confident more eloquent, more employable person.
While Speech and Drama has the longest season of any BHS activity, the time commitment, due to its individual nature, is based solely on your schedule, and is actually a lot less than one might think. Meets take place on Saturdays and last all day long. Usually we host a tournament, and the participants are expected to find judges to help run the meet.
Practice is an individual sign-up, usually weekly, sometimes more, especially as the season begins and nears the end.
We will meet as a team each Monday at lunch to discuss the last meet and to make commitments for the following one. I promise that this is like no other activity in the school. It is autonomous, and what you put into it you will get back ten fold.
