Four advance to All-State


by Natalie Kirton
On Saturday, March 10, 14 students had the opportunity to perform in front of three judges while at the State Speech & Drama competition in Clinton, a two-hour drive from Montezuma. Some students chose to leave the night before competition and stay in a hotel. Others woke early in the morning and rode in a group to the school. 
Students whose performance received an over-all I rating were Luke Goodman, Cassie Corbin, Alyssa Lyddon, Aly James, Mariah Hirsch, Shena Bryan, Clara Johnson, Karah Hansen and Abbi Nelson. Macy Taylor and Destiny Romberg received over-all I ratings in two categories. 
Zach Gibson and Niall Lyons received II ratings, while Seth Fahlenkamp received II ratings in two categories. 
“We had an awesome season and everyone worked really hard! Liesl Roorda and Derek Bates deserve a huge thanks for all the time they spent getting us to where we are now,” said Hirsch. 
Four of these students received the honor of moving on and performing at the All-State program, hosted in Cedar Falls at the University of Northern Iowa. These students are Hirsch in Storytelling, Taylor in Literary Program, Goodman in Prose and Johnson in Storytelling. They will be performing their pieces on Monday, March 26, beginning at 8:30 a.m.
