Speech Oral Interpretation

SPEECH ORAL INTERPRETATION

The speech program with the largest number of participating schools is the Oral Interpretation Program. Students from participating schools may enter any of seven categories available in the program. The schools are divided into three classes at the State Festival. Contestants from the Class “B” schools begin competition at the district level. The winners from the Class “B” district contests advance on to a region contest. It is at the regional level that students from Class “A” schools have their initial competition. The winners from the regional level contests go to the State Festival. Class "AA" schools automatically qualify for the State Festival.

DEBATE AND INDIVIDUAL EVENTS

Schools participating in the Debate and Individual Events program are divided into two classes. Class “AA” represents the SDHSAA member schools with an A.D.M. enrollment of 450 and above while Class “A” involves all other schools. Any member school wishing to participate can directly enter the State Tournament in any of the debate or individual events without the necessity of participating in a regional tournament.

The 2013 State Tournament crowned the 99th State Policy Debate Champions for South Dakota. The Tournament also marked the 87th year for Extemporaneous speaking competition, the 79th year of competition in Original Oratory, the 33rd year of Lincoln-Douglas Debate competition and 11th year of Public Forum Debate Competition.
