Varsity judging is done by our college professors, professionals in the field, and thespians with vast amounts of experience. If you could judge a novice event, your input would be very helpful.

If you are aware of drops, please don't wait until arriving at the meet to notify us. Even though the schedules are printed before this date, knowing about a drop before is helpful. You are welcome to use the online drop/add reporting at SpeechEase.com after you have submitted your final registration. Any changes must be received prior to the festival, on Tuesday, November 28 by midnight.

We are planning on having meals available through the college. The board will send out information for you.

We will give Sweepstakes awards for the top schools. There will also be all-state and honorable mention awards for the top thespians.

The schedule will come out on Guidebook.

Since we are in Wyoming during the winter, please be aware of the incoming storms. As we are in Casper, don't forget about the wind (trust us, it won't forget to blow).

If you have any questions about registration, please feel free to contact Tim Bessette at 307-689-6353. You may also email [email protected]. Scheduling questions can be directed to Sarah Bessette at [email protected]. All other questions can be directed to the appropriate board member. Please look at your packet for details.

Sincerely,



Tim Bessette
