  • GFCA Varsity State Championships Schedule As Always… It’S Subject to Change
    Georgia Forensic Coaches Association 2nd Annual Varsity State Championships Westminster Schools Atlanta, GA March 9-10, 2012 Mario Herrera, Tournament Director Jenny Heidt, Tournament Host Richard Bracknell, Individual Events Tab Room Director John McClellan, Public Forum/Lincoln Douglas Debate Tab Room Director Jeffrey Miller, Policy Debate Tab Room Director Welcome to the 2nd Annual Varsity State Championships Dear Colleagues, Welcome to the 2012 GFCA Varsity State Championships! This letter comes to you after quite a bit of thought. Jeff Miller asked me to have the letter completed much sooner than he actually received it. I was, and am, unsure what to say. Should this be a “thank you” letter to the GFCA for allowing me to serve as president for the last two years? Should it be a “State of Debate” letter? Should I offer ideas, insights, reasons? Should it be formal and efficient? No. For those who are unaware, I have some shocking news.I used to work for Disney. I know, big surprise. I also am a huge fan of Disney animated films. The reason why I am, however, may surprise. I am NOT a huge fan of a Disney Happy Ending. They are predictable, syrupy and just too… Happy. Instead, I prefer the back story of those Disney films. I like the Disney formula that seems to work on audiences, even after 80 years. There is a struggle, an unexpected friendship, a reliance on truth and possibility, acknowledgement of personal hubris and doubt, a decision, moral culpability and, finally, a goal within reach. The next movie changes things a bit, but only slightly.
