On Saturday, Feb. 25, the District Individual Speech Contest was held in Oskaloosa. There were 23 performers, and 17 entries received Division “I” ratings.
The categories that the students participated in were literary program, storytelling, poetry, acting, spontaneous speaking, improvisational acting and prose.
The students that participate in Individual Speech learn the art of speaking in front of an audience and building confidence.
Cassie Corbin, a junior, said, “Individual Speech benefits all students because it helps them feel more comfortable talking in front of people.”
The performers that received a Division “I” rating were Aly James, Macy Taylor, and Destiny Romberg in literary program; Shena Bryan and Clara Johnson in storytelling; Cassie Corbin in poetry; Karah Hansen, Alyssa Lyddon, Destiny Romberg and Macy Taylor in acting; Zach Gibson, Niall Lyons and Seth Fahlenkamp in improvisational acting; Seth Fahlenkamp in spontaneous speaking; and Mariah Hirsch, Abbi Nelson and Luke Goodman in prose.
The performers that received a Division “II” rating were Heaven Lorenz in poetry and acting, Abbie Wedgewood and Kaylene Corbin in prose and Matt Armstrong and Luke Goodman in improvisational acting.
The performers who received a Division “I” rating will be performing at the State Individual Speech competition in Clinton, on Saturday, March 10.
