The Harvest Havoc Kickoff
2024 — Billings, MT/US
Welcome to the 2024-2025 Montana High School Association Speech & Debate season! We are happy to kick it off with you at Billings West High School on November 9th, 2024. In kickoffs past, the Billings schools have happily hosted drama events with the help and partnership of coaches from nearby schools like Shepherd and Huntley Project. However, with tournaments occurring the same weekend at Miles City and Big Timber, we will not be hosting drama this year. We hope to return to the tradition of hosting all three categories next year, but in the meantime if you would like to send students to compete in the speech and debate events we offer, we will gladly have them.

The deadline for adds or drops is November 8th at 5:00 PM. Please note that if you must drop a student after the November 8th deadline, you will be charged for that student as though they attended the tournament. All drops should be sent to either Catherine Wetmore or Steve Macartney.
We will send an email out at the beginning of November requesting the names of coaches who will be attending and their coaching preferences. Please indicate those coaches who should be included in the judging pool and those who have experience running Extemp Draw. Your coaches will be notified of their assignment on November 6th. All tabbing will take place through Tabroom.com.
