DeKalb Corn Classic
General information This information is from a tournament in a past season! This is a High School tournament in Illinois. View manager contact information October 15, 2013 Dear Speech Coaches, Let us be painfully honest: these are not great times in which we are living. The federal government has been shut down. Chicago baseball proficiency is at an all-time low. And Hollywood seems stuck in a rut of churning out one high-budget, low-quality remake of a bad 80’s action movie after another. And yet, in the midst of all this darkness, there is a glimmer of hope: speech season is upon is, and with its dawn comes another incarnation of the DeKalb Corn Classic (please keep jokes about unimaginative remakes to yourselves).
DATE: Saturday, December 7th
STRUCTURE: Two flighted preliminary rounds (one being double-judged), and varsity and novice finals. Round 1A competition will begin at 8:00; Extemp and Radio are B events, so prep will begin at 8:30. Please plan to arrive no later than 7:30. ENTRY: Feel free to enter as many speakers in each event as you like (your entry fee will be based on your total number of entries).
