Hello Speech Coaches!
 
The Moorhead High School Speech Team would be thrilled to have you join us for the Spud Speech Invitational on Saturday, February 22nd. We hope you will find SpeechWire to be a user-friendly way to register your team and maintain changes. 
 
We are committed to awarding excellence and encouraging all with creative trophies, ribbons galore, some coach swag, and lounge areas full of great food. 
 
Our team is, once again, excited to offer the Spuds Speech Invitational original category - "Extemporaneous Musical Theater". Please encourage your speakers/vocalists to sign up for this fun event! Information about the event is available on our Speechwire page.
 
I want to send out a special "thank you" to all teams who make the trek to Moorhead for our tournament. As a team that spends a LOT of hours on the road, we know that team travel takes a lot of logistical maneuvering. If there is anything we can do to make this a more positive tournament for your team, do not hesitate to let us know!smiley
