DEFT: Traveled to and participated in 2 national level and 15 in-state speech & debate tournaments. Approximately 190 students competed at Berkeley CA, Cheyenne WY, Tournament of Championships(virtual), National Tournament(virtual), and Colorado tournaments in the Denver Metro area. There were a few less national level and local tournaments and travel late in the spring because of Covid-19. DEFT also helped organize, recruit, and run the virtual theater summer camp which was attended by speech and debate students as well as theater students.
ETC: Produced 10 productions this year which included the rehearsals and building of the sets, with 25 performances. Approximately 300 students participated in Summer stock, Fall Play, Theatre Level 1 performance, Theatre Level 2 performance, Theatre Level 3 performance, Duet competition, Spring Musical, and Black Box Performances. Senior projects were canceled because of Covid. Organized,recruited and ran a virtual theater summer camp which utilitzed guest artists and coaches teaching in a virtual environment. The resulting virtual performance was creative and unique.
There has been very little activity so far with Creative Write (CW)and Instrumental Music (IM) other than us providing a holding place for them for approximately $6,700 (CW) and $3,700 (IM) in contributions. We expect the activity will pick up once Covid restrictions are gone and coaches, students, and guest artists can again meet together.
