Good morning,
We are so excited to have you volunteer for our speech contest on March 1st. There will be 377 performances from that day by some very talented and some, very nervous, high school students. As volunteers it is your job to make them feel welcome in our school and help them to have the best performance possible.
If you could please come at least ½ hour before your designated time, so that we can go over a few things with you and especially if later in the day the rooms run a little fast (this sometimes happens) we would appreciate it. If you could check in to the high school office, we’ll point you in the right direction.
Some of you have been asked to be room chairs. As room chairs, you are IN CHARGE. You will introduce the performers and you will make sure that the judge has everything they need. Some of you have been asked to be timekeepers. This is a very important job and you will be responsible for accurately timing the performance of each contestant. It is important that you time the performance down to the second; we do not want to cut any performances off. And some of you have been asked to help in the concession area or as door keepers.We appreciate all your hard work and help.
I cannot thank you enough for volunteering to help. We could never host this contest without your help. If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email me. If you have any problems with the schedule, please let me know as soon as possible.
