Hey Coaches!

 

We are super excited to invite you to Buffalo Grove High School’s very first Speech Spooktacular Tournament!

 

We hope to “take the scary out of Speech” and the "terror out of tournaments" for our Novice and JV newbies. In true Halloween theme, costumes are encouraged so long as they meet the criteria provided below.

 

As a Novice/JV tournament, we will run three prelim rounds with NO finals.  We ask that you refrain from bringing experienced Varsity competitors. Please register by November 2nd, but note that registration will close when we reach the limit of students that we can comfortably accommodate. The sooner you can register, the better!
