WE ARE NOW THE

TOP COMMUNITY COLLEGE

IN THE STATE

For 2002-2005 & 2007

Forensics means "telling the truth in front of a judge." In communication areas, forensics means
competitive speech and performance.

WHAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW:

The tournament season runs September-April.
We compete 2 - 3 times a semester in one and two day tournaments and festivals.
At each tournament, you’ll give your speech 2- 3 times to various coaches/judges.
This is a great way to network with other schools.
Anyone is invited to attend- few people tend to watch.
The school pays for registration and judging fees.
Periodically, scholarships are available. (Some fundraising events are scheduled.)
You can receive college SPE credits for competing.

The Most Common Events Are:

Informative
Persuasion
Dramatic Interpretation
Dramatic Duo
Programmed Oral Interpretation
Prose
Poetry
After Dinner Speaking
Impromptu
