What a great season for Marion Oral Interp! Throughout the year, these students have grown as performers, built confidence, and put so much time and effort into their pieces. I’m proud of each and every one of them!
This season included competitions at Sioux Valley, Brandon Valley, Bon Homme, Brookings, and Roosevelt high schools, leading up to today’s District Oral Interp competition in Madison, SD.
Participating in the Marion OI team this year was: Lilly Tarrell, Ella Spade, Brooklyn Carda, Claire Donlan, Jayde Olson, Harli Ross, Breton Ross, Arianne Fink, Takeda Malloon, Avary Thomas, and Kolter Schmidt. Our district competitors today at districts were:
• Arianne Fink — Non-Original Oratory
• Harli Ross — Storytelling
• Claire Donlan — Humorous
• Jayde Olson — Serious
• Kolter Schmidt and Claire Donlan — Duo
Our students represented Marion well in a talented field of performers, and each has plenty to be proud of! A special congratulations to Harli Ross, who qualified for regions in Storytelling!
Thank you to all our participants for your hard work, willingness to challenge yourselves, and support for one another throughout the season. It has been a lot of fun watching you grow. Photos are from different meets attended...The first two photos are from today at districts.
