Welcome to the 2024-25 Interp Season!

The BV Speaking Lynx are very excited to host you all on Saturday, October 19.

Registration is on tabroom (obviously). Registration is due by 6 pm on Thursday, October 17; fees will be final at that time. Changes may be made until 6 pm on Friday evening. Individual events are $8, duo is $12, and RT is $15 per entry. I may have a limited number of judges for hire; judge fee will be $75. If you need a judge, please email me at gina.koehn@k12.sd.us to check my list and numbers.

For those of you who are interested in earning bids to NIETOC in Kansas City in May, I'm also excited to announce that the BV Speaking Lynx Invitational is a NIETOC qualifying tournament this year. The number of bids in each event will be announced as we get registrations turned in.

Schedule:

7:30 - 8:30 am Registration in the BVHS Commons

8:30 am General Meeting -- PAC

9:00 am Round 1

10:30 am Round 2

Noon Round 3

2:00 pm Finals

Concessions will be available in the commons. A judges/coaches lounge will be available in room 114 next to the tabroom which will be in 113.

Drop off and Parking: Our east side lot is available for drop off and parking. Buses can drop kids off at the entrance on the east side of the building (door #25) and park in the lot north of the high school west of Dairy Queen. Smaller vehicles can park in the east side lot or in the north lot. Registration will be in the lobby area of the east side entrance as you come in. We are still working on the logistics of where the kids will hang out and leave their stuff; that information will be provided when you register and BV kids will be on hand to answer questions and direct traffic.

As always, if you have any questions, please email me at gina.koehn@k12.sd.us and I will do the best I can to answer those questions or find an answer.

Looking forward to seeing you all in October!
