And that's a wrap on our 2025 Oral Interp season!

Olivia and Reese started the morning off with their Duo and earned a Superior for the second year in a row! Olivia performed her humorous this afternoon and also took home a Superior!

Our team earned a Team Excellence award for having 2 or more events medal at State for the second year in a row! (Though I was less than amused to have to go on stage 🤣🤣)

I have no words to properly express how proud I am of my kids and what a great season it has been. It is so incredibly rewarding to end on such a high note.

And, in typical South Dakota fashion, the weather decided that we would be staying one more night in Watertown ❄️❄️❄️

Thanks to all of our judges, parents, teachers, admin, sponsors, and supporters this year. We couldn't have done it without you ❤️

Day 1 of State Oral Interp is in the books!

Reese performed her Superior piece this morning and we are so proud to say she earned a Superior! Way to go, Reese!

Our Reader's Theatre team (Reyna, HayleeLynne, Karma, Arryanna, and Mederise) performed this afternoon. While they didn't medal, we are so proud of them!

We have two performances left tomorrow, so send all the cheers and positive vibes!

BHHS Drama is looking for sponsors!

We are once again asking businesses to help sponsor the cost of our season. This includes buying pieces, paying judges, entry fees, travel expenses, and random things like buying plastic ducks for everyone who enters our competition (I don't ask; these are teenagers things and it makes them happy! Also, apparently more schools wanted to come to our tournament this year because we give out ducks 🤷‍♀️🐥)

Anyway, if you are interested in sponsoring, please let me know at [email protected] or through this page. Students have been given paper copies of the forms below and may already be on their way to talk to you. Your logo will appear on the back of the certificates that are given to each student who competes. We are asking for a $50 sponsorship but businesses are certainly welcome to donate more.

If you aren't in a position to donate monetarily, a share always helps to spread the word!

Thank you again for your continued support; we are so grateful to live in communities that take great care of our students and programs!
