Time to get serious!

Ok, between the last two meetings I have seen you all and we've looked at scores, the video and talked about the small improvements that you need to do well at state. A few highlights:

1. You need to be obvious. Always include a line setting up and making obvious important items you are scored on, such as value judgement, stock character and facts.

2. Use invisible props all the time to enhance your character. Little things make the skit so much more interesting.

3. Facts. Ok. You need to know them. The two weakest ones in my opinion are the landline telephone and the VHS. I looked online and wikipedia has facts and information on both. Information can include how the technology has advanced, because both of those things are older. So, all of you need to LEARN the fact for these two (for now) backwards and forwards. Print your own page and begin your own packet. Know these two by Thursday. Bring your packets, booklets or whatever else you have as well.

4. The last time I looked you were one of 17 teams (16 last year). You will have to earn your spot to globals, but YOU CAN DO IT. Worthwhile things are hard and take effort.

You have the chemistry. You have the comedy. You have the creativity. Put in your BEST effort on these other areas and you will make the judges cry (again!).

See you all Thursday.
