Dear Middle School Speech Coaches:

Danville High School is proud to invite you to its annual middle school speech tournament, the Anchor Invitational, on January 21, 2017. We pledge to do our very best to provide a fun and competitive day for you and your students that runs on or ahead of schedule.

CATEGORIES OFFERED

All middle school KHSSL events will be offered.

ENTRIES

You may enter as many students per event as you like; the best three competitors from your team in each event will count toward team sweepstakes. Each student may enter up to three events. If possible, your students will be coded against each other in preliminary rounds and will not meet. Each entry will be charged $5.00. Duo Acting and Duo Improv will be charged $10.00.

JUDGES/FEES

You may hire judges you do not provide for $30 apiece. Your judges should be familiar with the KHSSL rules and ballots. We promise them lots of goodies and coffee.
