DeKalb Corn Classic 2017
General information This information is from a tournament in a past season! This is a High School tournament in Illinois. View manager contact information September 22, 2017
Dear Speech Coaches,
It is truly a remarkable time to be alive and living in America. The past year has brought about so much change, uncertainty, and turmoil, it’s enough to drive out the few last remaining hairs from a male speech coach’s head (well, any coach NOT named Dirk Palmer). But luckily, some things remain constant. Like gravity. And the Bears’ ineptitude against the Packers. And the DeKalb Corn Classic Forensics Extravaganza: helping make your life easier by changing nothing. After all, if it ain’t completely unsuccessful, try not to mess it up.
DATE: Saturday, December 2nd
STRUCTURE: Two flighted preliminary rounds (one being double-judged), and varsity and novice finals. Round 1A competition will begin at 8:00; Radio and Extemp are B events, so prep will begin at 8:30 and 8:45, respectively. (Remember extemp prep is only 30 minutes this year).
