The Milbank High School Interp team was awarded the top award that the SDHSAA offers at the annual State Interp contest held in Aberdeen on December 3-4th. Squads who receive two or more superiors receive the Team of Excellence Award. Both of Milbank's entries who qualified for the Class A competition received superiors. Brenna Rausch was a superior winner in Serious Plays while the Readers' Theatre team composed of Brent Seehafer, Jesse Nelson, Timothy Whelan, John Ward, Mitchell Wagner, and Sam Grorud also received a superior.
"It was a good day for these seven young people. Participating at the state festival puts a lot of pressure on a single performance heard by three judges and a larger crowd than average. I would have been proud of their performance whether they had superiors or not. The superior was just sprinkles on top of the frosting!"
