Middle School Poetry Slam
Join DC SCORES as we kick off poetry slam season with our middle school performances!
November 13 @ 5:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Join DC SCORES middle school poet-athletes at the first poetry slam of the fall season. Thousands of young people from our middle school programs will take to the stage as they perform original spoken word poetry in a competition judged by some of the top poets in the DMV.
DC SCORES slams are the biggest youth poetry events in the DMV, with more than 3,000 young people performing over three nights. For more information about our program, visit our What We Do page.
This event is free and open to the public, and you do not need a ticket to attend.
Parents and families, please contact your school’s coach for information about bus pick-up and drop-off for the event.
This year, Middle School Slam will consist of a competitive slam competition, followed by an open mic.
