Extemp notes
Extemp has priority! If you are in other speech events, be sure you schedule your time so you do not miss your draw time. The times are fixed and if you are late to the prep room, your prep time is shortened. Speaker positions cannot be switched or changed.
Note: Speaker 1 prep time will begin at the start of the speech round. Check the speaker order before the round begins.
Extemp First Draw times:
Round 1 - 8:00 am
Round 2 - 12:00 pm
Round 3 - 4:30 pm
Extemp instructions
Please arrive at check-in no later than 7:20 am. After 7:25, you risk forfeiting Round 1.
Announcements begin at 7:25 am.
At 7:45 am, the Extemp Team will escort Extempers to the room for Extemp Draw.
Extemp postings will be posted next to the Prep Room 10 minutes before the first draw.
The prep room is being used for other speeches during Pattern B so you will want to retrieve your computer after you speak. Proctor will not remain in room once students are gone.
