The Circle of Courage
General information This information is from a tournament in a past season! This is a High School tournament in South Dakota. View manager contact information Washington High School Circle of Courage Oral Interpretation Tournament Friday, October 22, 2021 Oral Interpretation Coaches: We are pleased to invite you to attend The Circle of Courage Oral Interpretation Tournament at Sioux Falls Washington on Friday, October 22. Note: The tournament is held after school on this date; please see schedule below for our planning and travel itineraries. We will be holding three rounds of competition followed by awards. In addition to our varsity events, we will offer a novice division in all categories. In the event that novice entries so not allow separate rounds in a particular category, we will combine novice and varsity, but will still separate results for the purpose of awards. It is our goal to offer all competitors a positive experience. Events and entries Schools may have an unlimited number of entries in each of our seven divisions: Humorous Interp, Dramatic Interp, Duo Interp, Storytelling, Non-Original Oratory, Poetry, and Reader’s Theatre. We will allow a triple entry if the third entry is Reader’s Theatre. Rounds will be staggered to keep the tournament running smoothly. Please only triple enter your students if you can assure they can balance making it to all of their rounds on time, as we will not re-hear or hold over any rounds for students who do not make it to their assigned rooms in a timely manner.
