After yet another weather related postponement, local area speech teams will try again to complete the District Large Group speech competition today.

Indianola speech teams will compete at Clarke High School, while Pella, Knoxville, Pleasantville, and Melcher-Dallas will compete at Pella High School, with both competitions beginning at 4pm. Teams will compete in a festival format, and have their choice of theatre performance such as a one-act play or short film. A judge will rate, with oral and written comments, and award each team a score of 1, 2, or 3, with a 1 score from all three of a panel of judges allowing that performance to move on to the State Large Group competition on February 2nd.
