Dear Speech Coach,
On behalf of the Bloomington Speech Team and the Bloomington Friends of Forensics, I cordially invite you to the 48th Annual Bloomington Speech Invitational on Saturday, February 24, 2018.
Our tournament will feature site scheduling, the categories of impromptu speaking and program oral interpretation with regular and honors finals in all events. Individual awards will be presented to all finalists and sweepstakes awards to the top three large team and top small team entries.
We are especially pleased this year to once again be an NIETOC bid tournament. If our registration numbers allow, we will break to FOUR final rounds in the NIETOC categories of original oratory, duo, drama, and humor.
We look forward to seeing you on February 24!
Sincerely,
Scott Sieling
