The Young and the Restless - choral speaking script

I found my old choral speaking script when I was searching for something else and I was overwhelmed with fond memories of the time when I was in the school's choral speaking team. I loved every minute of my time on the team :)

The author for this script is a plump Malay lady with a great smile and is as bubbly as how the script was written :) There was another script, but then I lost that one... it is rather sad, now that I think of it. I only can recall the funny part where we had to do a Mexican wave while calling out 'Tiiiiimmmmmbbbbbbeeeerrrr!'. Maybe it's something related to saving the environment. Hmm....

Anyway, since we've already used this script for our competition, so I thought, 'why not let other people enjoy the brilliance behind the script?' :) Enjoy!

P/S: Although I like the previous (and lost) script better, I only found this... so, yeah, that's it I guess :)

  1. Hi Aveyn,
    your script is very interesting. Can I use@adapt it for my school choral speaking team? The district level competition is just around the corner and we haven't come up with a script. Thank you

    1. It's not really my script to give since I'm not the author of the script but just one of the many members in my choral speaking team.

      That being said, I personally don't mind. In fact, that's actually one of the reasons why I painstakingly typed it out on my blog - I want to share it and if you can share it further (through the competition), I guess that would be even better :)

      And, good luck for the choral speaking competition! :)
