Welcome to our Blog!

With the start of the 2008-2009 school year begins the fourth year of Skagway High School's DDF team. For three years, dedicated coaches and students have put much time and energy into developing, and gaining community support of the program and that work has paid off! For the first time, a DDF tournament will be hosted in Skagway, this February. It is an event that will require a lot of cooperation, so if you have a free hand, Skagway School would love the help! The team has also chosen to adopt a global initiative for the year 'Climate Change'.

To read more about the program, its role in Skagway, and the purpose of this blog see the first post- DDF in Skagway

To read more about the 2008-2009 Climate Change theme and how the team will act on it see the post- The Climate Change Initiative

Brandy Mayo Gets Command Performance

The DDF team is back in Skagway and in school after a successful first meet of the year in Juneau!

Here are the results:

Brandy Mayo- First Place in Dramatic Interpretation

Jayce Ellis- Second Place in Expository Speaking

Shelby Surdyk- Third Place in Expository Speaking

Alini Jashiki, Brandy Mayo, & Shelby Surdyk- Fourth Place in Readers Theatre

Brandy Mayo & Shelby Surdyk- Finaled in Extemporaneous Commentary

Brandy Mayo's Dramatic Interpretation, titled "The Yellow Wallpaper", tells the story of one woman's descent into insanity and escape from societal restrictions. Having received first place for the performance, she was offered the opportunity to perform in front of all attendees of the tournament, a command performance.
Skagway has high hopes for the upcoming meet later this month!
