This year’s Speech and Debate Tournament was one of my favorite. There were a lot of different schools competing against each other in duo interpretation. I performed a speech called “This Speech Contest Has Been Canceled” by Ken Bradbury. My partner and I got an honorable mention and were the only couple that “placed” from Saint Philip. For debate, all teams from Saint Philip placed! I personally love speech and debate and I think that it is such a great experience. You practice for about 1 month and perform your speech 3 times in front of different judges. Performing 3 times in front of judges allows you to correct your mistakes and progress all 3 times performing. If you are into performing and acting I would highly recommend that you try speech and debate because it is a once in a lifetime opportunity that I wouldn’t miss out on!
