This page will be under construction throughout the 2011-2012 intercollegiate season. Our objective is to load samples and instructional audio and video for each of the events offered at the PKD National Tournament and Convention, or at the National Comprehsive Tournament.

Gray links are not yet live. Blue links are active hot-links. Where video of interpretive events is posted, PKD has full ownership and/or copyright permission to distribute the video for educational purposes and institutions need not obtain further permission from the author(s). We are grateful for the individuals who have submitted sample speeches for contributing to a collective instructionan dialog about best practices in each event.Listen to podcasts or audio samples of PKD events by clicking on the broadcast icon. To view video samples, click on the television icon.
