| The success of a tournament will depend on the cooperative effort of many, Forensics will be a fun and rewarding experience only if together we maintain an environment in which everyone shares in the process. Respect each other’s work. At all times we must remain aware of our own and others’ well being. Every person has a different level of talent and no person should be discouraged from trying to improve it. In other words, always maintain a positive attitude. Acting requires discipline. While other people are working refrain from activities and conversations. Nothing in the halls or classroom should cause anyone’s concentration to be distracted. This is part of the discipline of competition and needs to be adhered to for both your fellow actors’ sakes as well as the judges. You are to remain in the designated areas and no one is allowed throughout the building. Handle school property carefully. It does not belong to you. Vandalism or theft of any kind will not be tolerated and will be cause for immediate dismissal. No food or beverages are allowed in any part of the school except the cafeteria at any time during the competition. No one is allowed to leave the school building without the permission of your coach. You are entrusted to our care during the time in which you are at the competition. Therefore, we will take no risks. During the award ceremony we encourage cheering but not chanting and horns. |
