Marion Speech Team

Contest Day Expectations

• Dress Code:

  • Present your best self at all times. We’re representing our community.

  • NO JEANS, SWEATS, EXERCISE CLOTHES, “AT HOME CLOTHES” in performance areas.

  • If you wear a collared shirt, wear a tie. (V-neck sweaters with ties are a great choice.)

  • If you wear a skirt, make sure it’s long enough that you can bend over without worrying. (Leggings instead of tights are a great choice.)

  • Leggings must be paired with tops that fall below the hips.

  • Judges should not be able to see through it, down it, or up it.

  • Hair pulled back: show the judges your wonderful faces.

  • No Marion-branded apparel (let your parents/friends know this as well)

• Bring with you:

  • Cash money for lunch and snacks

  • Brush, make-up, change of clothes

  • Comfy shoes

  • Phone charger

  • Homework/something to do during down time.

• At the contest:

  • Gyms are home base. Keep track of your things in the gym!

  • Be QUIET and RESPECTFUL in the hallways.

• If you’re not performing, watch your team perform - support them!

• Watch as many other performances as possible, especially juniors, sophomores, and freshman. This is where we get ideas and inspiration for next year.
