Read moreOn November 3, the Wagner Oral Interpretation team had their home performance in the school theater. This is the only showcase of the Oral Interp season and is open to the public. Like a play, there is no flash photography or recording during the performances. During competitions, students perform at the same time. Therefore, this showcase is the first time that many students can watch their peers’ performance. As a coach, it has been fun to watch each participants growth throughout the season. This event has always been a favorite and provides even more excitement prior to Regions because the students can finally watch each other perform, support and celebrate each other.
