Attendance at practices is not required, but is encouraged.  Our U.I.L. competitors are also encouraged to attend invitational meets once a month, starting in November.  Invitational meets are held on Saturday mornings at various high schools in the area.  They provide students with the opportunity to compete against students from other schools, practice their skills, and win awards.  Students attending U.I.L. meets ride on a school bus from E.V.H.S. to the site of the meet, and return on the bus later in the day.  Students are encouraged to bring practice materials, homework, books, games, etc. to keep them busy between their events.  Students should also pack a lunch or bring money for the concession stand.  The district U.I.L. meet is held in March.  Students who do well at the district meet advance to regionals, and from there can advance to the state meet.  Scholarships are awarded to students who win at the state level.  If you are interested in competing, or would like more information, contact Ms. Nichols.
