The ensemble acting group "This is a Bad Idea" closes out the all state speech showcase with their comedic performance. The group is sprinkled with ensemble acting champions from "Controlling Interests" that brought the banner home to Mount Vernon last year.

Mount Vernon Speech made history as they will be taking 9 groups to all state this weekend – a record for the school. If you would like to come support the team in Ames this Saturday, tickets are available in the link provided: https://tickets.gobound.com/tickets/events/h202302060215555779571f26ef8ce46/checkout
