Information for Students Participating in Friday's Competion

If you are participating in the competition on Friday night, please remember the following:

* you need to arrive and check in with Beth Taylor-Schott by 6:45. If you arrive after 6:45, we may have given your spot to a runner-up. We will need you to turn in your copies of your poem (see below) and fill out evaluation forms before you take your seat.

* you need to bring 2 copies of your poem with you. One is for the accuracy judge, the other is for your prompter

* you may provide your own prompter. If you do not bring a prompter with you, the poet who taught your class will prompt for you. Your prompter will come up to the front when it is your turn and will sit in a space provided in the front row.

* the Mural Room will open at 6:30. Please feel free to come at that time to test the sound system. The room is generally open during the day if you just want to get a feel for the room or practice your poem there. The sound system will not be available until the evening of the event.

* you will sit in the audience until it is your turn to recite, so be sure to have someone save you a seat while you are checking in.

*Good Luck! We've seen the school winners perform and we know that you are all going to do a fabulous job!
