What is Roll Call?

Roll Call is a 3 minute skit featuring your school introducing yourselves to the audience and using the theme for the conference. It’s a chance to show your school spirit and get a little crazy in the process. Use props or costumes if you would like, but school spirit is a must!

Who do we compete against?

The competition is broken up between large schools and small schools.

Do we win anything?

The winner will receive the Roll Call Trophy and bragging rights. Take the trophy back to your school and show it off.

Guidelines of Roll Call:

· Incorporate the theme of RODEO into Roll Call.

· All delegates are encouraged to participate.

· Feel free to be creative - dance, music, anything you can think of.  A CD player will be available for use with roll call.

· Props can be used, but you must provide them (no live animals, and any messes need to be cleaned up by your delegation).
