Speech and Debate
Tonight is the DHS Speech and Debate Team's annual showcase from 7-9 at the Brunelle Theatre, tickets are $5 at the door. The showcase will feature an assortment of speeches including original and imporvised material. The Showcase will also include a public forum debate on whether or not pushng back school start times would be beneficial to DJUSD students. There is also a silent auction. Two weekends ago Acme Theatre Company went to Ashland to see the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Rocket talks about the different shows the company saw: Yeomen of the Guard, River Bride, and Vietgone. Rocket also talks about the recent Every 15 Minutes Program he participated in at the high school in which the administration simulated a drunk driving accident between students on Oak Street. This show also includes a minute of absolute silence to prepare for Day of Silence this Friday. The show starts with Alive in the Lights by Memphis May Fire (relevant to Ashland and performance careers in general), Car Radio by Twenty One Pilots (because of Every 15 Minutes), and When You Can't Sleep at Night by Of Mice & Men (because Rocket's reading Of Mice and Men in Enlish right now).
