Capital Speech and Debate 2015

This can be a great field trip!  Bring your children and have them observe what a speech and debate tournament looks like and see if they may be interested. 

There is also an opportunity to serve as a judge.  A great opportunity to hear debates and speeches from 12-18 years old and give them your critiques so they can further improve on their skills. Your constructive criticisms and presence is invaluable to these young competitors. They have been working diligently all year long and some since they were 12 years old.
