Academic Decathlon Speech – Gold Medal – 989/1000
This is a video of myself giving my speech at the Indiana State Academic Decathlon Competition. This is during the speech showcase. I received a gold medal on it and our team got overall winner in speech.
Hear straight from the collegiate students from The Southern California Institute of Architecture and California Institute of Technology about their design and strategy behind their entry in the US Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2011. The US Department of Energy Solar Decathlon challenges collegiate teams to design, build, and operate solar-powered houses that are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and attractive. The winner of the competition is the team that best blends affordability, consumer appeal, and design excellence with optimal energy production and maximum efficiency.

what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Reitz Memorial High School? Represent! I have some big shoes to live up to this year.
I got a silver medal at my scrimmage last Friday. I scored a 966 (: My friend got gold and she scored 970, so close!
@advenger32 I read that last year too
Your beast man
@thekevster08 thanks for replying. great speech btw. You’re definitely right about band taking an immense amount of time and effort. But in the end, the ecstatic feeling that comes over you while playing on the field makes everything worthwhile.
@thebearsareafterme well, i played marimba for 2 years, tenor drum for a year, clarinet for 2 years, then clarinet + bassoon for a year. I was trying to get drum major so was trying to do a little bit of everything, but i wound up getting beat by the best drum major our school had in the 10 years i had followed the band.
holy shit! I’m also in decathlon and marching band. What instrument do you play?
nice speech. hopefully i can come up with a good one for california’s states. >< So much competition.
@tmlkrs oklahoma. thanks i’ll need it
@mythic414 Good luck!
What state?
@tmlkrs ok. thank you for the tip, it was very helpful. i’ll use it at state competition
@mythic414 Instead of worrying about length initially, just type/write to your hearts content. The key thing is to make sure that your speech is about something that you want to talk about. After typing it, time it, edit it, time it, edit it, and continue till you feel that it is complete.
how many pages did you have to write to get it to fit in the required time?
