2009 Glendale Community College Tournament

Glendale Community College
High School Speech Tournament Invitational
October 3, 2009

Dear High School Speech Coach,

            Glendale Community College Speech Team invites you to the 2009 High School Invitational
Speech Tournament on Saturday, October 3, 2009.  We offer competition in the following individual
events:  Drama, Humor, Poetry, Prose, Duo Interpretation, Impromptu Speaking, Extemporaneous
Speaking (combination of foreign and domestic topics), Expository Speaking and Original Oratory.
Additionally, we will offer Public Forum Debate.  Plaques will be given to the top 6 competitors in
each individual event and semi and finalists in Public Forum Debate. While we will not split open
and novice divisions for actual competition, the top novice speakers in the all events will receive
recognition.  Finally, we will award sweepstakes awards to the top 3 high school speech teams with
the highest cumulative points from the final rounds.

We care about high school students and offer a quality tournament. To ensure this we are
limiting each school to 5 entries per event and we are limiting individual events students to double
entry (2 events) only per pattern and Extemporaneous speakingmay not double enter in pattern
A. Students competing in Public Forum Debate will not be able to compete in individual events.
Our attempt is to balance small and large squads in quantity, but not in quality. This equalization
of size will encourage smaller programs, and reward talent and quality rather than size, making
the experience less intimidating for young competitors.

The registration deadline is Tuesday, September 29^th at 7 pm. We're looking forward
to seeing you! If you want to participate in a tournament focused on the student, then this is the
tournament for you.

Sincerely,

Kirt Shineman
Director of Forensics
Tournament Director

ENTRY IS DONE ON JOY OF TOURNAMENTS: THIS IS FOR YOUR OWN RECORDS.
