Both Destination Imagination teams placed at the regional competition March 7 at Hendrickson High School.
The sophomore team, Dylan Rowling, Garrett Smith, Clark Cravens, and Julia Stein placed second in the Feary Tales challenge. The challenged involved creating an imaginative skit where they had to conquer a fear.
“It feel good, we got it because basically we were the best,” Rowling said. “The description on what we did well listed our entire performance.”
They also won the Renaissance Award for their set and prop design.
Dylan Rowling, Julia Stein, Clark Cravens and Garrett Smith took second in the Feary Tale challenge at DI regionals, March 7.
“We built all the props for it and wrote the script,” Rowling said. “Julia Stein was the main character. She played a student who fell asleep and woke up in a ‘brain storm’.”
The team of Emily Mask, Alexis Johnson, Mathew Moller and Bryce Newman, a seventh grader from Stiles Middle School, earned third place in the Improv Challenge.
“We did really good, we were going against seniors so we weren’t expecting to do as good as we did,” Johnson said. “We got a much better score than we were expecting.”
Only teams who place first at regionals are guaranteed a spot at state. This was the first time the freshman team has competed at the regional level in high school.
“We’re going to practice more next year, try to stay focused during practice and understand our problem better,” Johnson said.
