Hello Everyone, we are your H.I. captains for this school year of 2014-2015! (: H.I. is one of the best events ever and we highly highly encourage you to give it a try because this might just be the event you're meant to do! We are actually aiming to start an H.I. army so we want YOU to be apart of this greatness!

A little bit about us, is that we actually were friends in kindergarten! But then Kelly moved to a different school in the district, so were finally reunited after 9 long years during Freshman year here at AHS! So we go wayyyy back. 

We both do H.I. because we are both really energetic people who love to laugh and make others laugh too. Also, we're kind of really strange, so an event like H.I., which encourages you to be the weird-ol-self you are, was a perfect fit for us!

What is Humorous Interpretation?

A humorous interpretation is when you take the script from a movie, book, or play, cut it down to less than 10 minutes, and perform it in a comedic manner! Like any speech and debate event, an HI requires tons of hard work and practice. Character distinction, voice, popping, and comedic timing are just some of the basic skills  that help make a good HI.
