Re: How to Emcee at competitions

As many know, this year was my first year emceeing. In order to emcee, i got in contact with our local emcee, a lady by the name of Chiniqua, to see if i could shadow her. Before i did any districts/regionals i did some offseasons and had to go through a training. I definitely would suggest doing some FLL/FTC events if you can, i know i am going too!

Being an emcee is extremely rewarding, i love seeing the glimmer in a rookie teams eye their first time behind the glass. But you do have to remember it is a public speaking role, and you need to have a lot of self confidence to speak in front of hundreds of people. And as Libby said, you do have to keep up the energy the entire day/weekend and it's not about 'crazy' energy, it's the passion of seeing these kids succeed that pushes you along all weekend!

best of luck!
'Cowgirl' Katie
