The Oral Interp season officially came to a close after Monday’s region meet at SDSU. And while no one from Garretson qualified for state, the young talent that participated this year shows promise for the future.
Garretson had two students participate at the region competition at SDSU: Gracie Fiegen (humorous) and Elizabeth Roth (poetry).
“They both competed well. While they will not advance to the state competition, they represented Garretson with poise and came away learning a lot from the experience,” stated Oral Interp coach Erika Brown.
This year was a learning experience for Garretson interpers just because of the inexperience. Practice is one thing but to see it all come together during a competition adds another level.
“Battling nerves was probably the biggest challenge this year--especially at the region level of competition. Performing as an individual provides a lot of control, but also a lot of pressure to compete with excellence at every performance. I'm proud of their work this season and of the team as well!”
