Regionals!

Posted in Uncategorized at 4:23 pm by glforensics

~Regionals has been set for April 19th (that’s a Saturday) at Dexter High School (the same place we had Districts). The Bus will leave at 5:50 AM from the High School. All team members are welcome, but I must know if you plan to come since the District may be giving us a van rather than a bus due to our small numbers and there is (obviously) limited seating. Please let me know asap.

~Our Region has alot of our best competitors (ie Portage and Walled Lake) so we all need to make sure we are continuing to polish, polish, polish!!!

~Because of Conferences next week there will be no practice on Thurs and Fri, BUT I will be in on Tues. I would like to see as many of you as possible that day because the following week is Spring Break.

~I am thinking about holding a practice down on the Gazebo on the island over break (since we can’t get into the school) if the weather permits – let me know if you’re interested.

~The week after break, I will hold practice on Tues, Thurs and Fri  since THAT SATURDAY will be the competition.

~I also need to know your interest in having a “Parent Night/Dessert Theatre” of sorts where we could all perform for each other and any one else that would like to see you, but  wasn’t able to come to the meets (friends, family etc). Again, you’ll need to let me know about interest and your end of the year schedule.

~I also want to thank you all for all the work that you’ve put in this season. I know that the timing has been against us (with snow days and what not) but your dedication means alot.

Contact me if you have questions or concerns,

Laura

Districts

Posted in Uncategorized at 5:56 pm by glforensics

GOOD JOB to everyone who went to Districts this past Wednesday. I was incredibly proud of you -even if it was a small tournament. Congratulations go out to Liz Asman,Kelly Dunnigan, Kevin Fox, Andrew Sass, and Angel Villarreal who will all be advancing to the Regional tournament.

I anticipate regionals to be held the week after spring break, but don’t have any further details than that. Practices will continue to be held next week on Thurs and Fri and if anyone wants to practice over spring break (i can hear you laughing) let me know and we can try to set something up. Remember, although our District was small, our region has many of the big players (like both Portage schools, Mattawan, etc) so you will need to be razor sharp.

I would like to also thank you for being such good ’sports’ at the tournament. You were all well behaved and respectful of the school and other competitors which makes all the difference in the end.

Let me know if you have any questions, comments, concerns,

Ms C

Last Invitational Tournament

Posted in Uncategorized at 10:41 am by glforensics

Hello Again,

The last invitational tournament of the season is this Saturday, March 8th.  The bus is leaving at 5:30am for HH Dow High School in Midland.  Right now I have Kevin, Angel, Maaphio, and Liz competing. Kelly and Taylor? Where have you been! I haven’t  even heard from either one of you in 2 weeks. Kelly, I’m going to put you down to compete unless you contact me and tell me otherwise. If you want to compete and your name is not listed please contact me ASAP.

District Competition will be our next tournament on the 19th. You will more than likely end up missing your last class hour of the day. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL CLASS WORK AND HOMEWORK MISSED. Right now, I anticipate ALL forensics team members participating in this competition. If you CAN NOT make it, please contact me ASAP.

Thats it for now, I will be in again this week for practice.

Ms C
