Mock interview has changed...

So sorry! We had to change the date of the mock interview to MONDAY, AUGUST 10 AT 6PM. It will still be at the Hampton Inn, but different day. I'm sorry about being family night and all, but this is the only time our judges can make it. I would strongly suggest taking advantage of this opportunity. It will help you so much more than I can possibly explain. If you are planning on attending you need to click on the comment box below this post and leave your name. Angela will contact you with your specific time. (If there's a lot of you that are interested we will schedule you to come 10-15 minutes before and after eachother so you're not standing around waiting all night. If theres only 1 or 2 of you it won't as big of a deal but she'll contact you etiher way) Thanks girls!

A couple FYI's

In the past, I have allowed the girls who don't make the royalty to take their 8x10's that will be displayed in the foyer. You are still allowed to do that IF you are willing to take the picture OUT of the frame. Angela and I decided we don't want to buy new frames every year, so we are planning on reusing them. So you can take the picture after the pageant IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE ROYALTY, but NOT the frame.

Pageant week schedule:
-Wednesday, August 12th at 6 pm-Production number blocking and modeling, bring your production number dresses and ALL ACCESSORIES you are planning to wear so that Angela and I can evaluate it as a whole. We may take away, add, or do nothing depending on what everyone else is wearing and how it looks as a whole. If you are uncomfortable witht he sleeveless dress, you are welcome to put a BLACK shade shirt underneath, everyone is to wear the cami that I gave you with your dress. If you have not recieved your dress, I would STRONGLY recommend calling before next week so that if the dress needs fixing, you are not realizing that the week of.
-Thursday, August 13th at 6 pm- Production number and talent run through
-Friday, August 14th at 6pm- FULL DRESS RUN THOUGH. You don't have to wear full hair and makeup, but you do need your clothes so that you have an idea of how much or how little time you will have to change. Plan on being there late, we may run it twice.
-Saturday, August 15th- PAGEANT DAY!! HOORAY!
*Breakfast- 9 am at Hampton Inn
*Interviews begin at 1:00 p.m.
*Curtain Call 6:00 p.m.
*Pageant Begins 7:00 p.m. PROMPT!


You HAVE to have your CMN $ and form that is on the blog WITH you on that wednesday. You CANNOT run without that

If you have any other questions let us know, otherwise we will see you later!

FUN Run!

Scholarships

If any of you are planning to use scholarships for this coming fall you need to specify where you will plan to use it so that I can get that to the county and increase your chances of being able to. Since the pageant lies so close to when school starts, the county has to start processing that voucher. If they know ahead of time who wants it where, if that person gets any scholarship money its faster and all that. Thanks girls. Just leave a comment below, you can click on "anonymous" and just type your name at the bottom.

Mock Interview for those interested

There have been a few requests for a mock interview, so we are setting one up Saturday, 6 pm at the Hampton Inn. You are welcome to wear anything you like, but if you want honest feedback on your actual intervew suit, makeup, hair, etc...I'd come as close to how you're planning to come for the pageant. If you have any questions, please let me or Angela know. Thanks girls.

Fair Dates...so far!

These are what I have so far. These are only what she has so far, like Angela and I have told you before...just plan on there 24/7 for the week of the fair. That way you won't miss anything. Even if there isn't something specifically set, if you are in the royalty you are contracted to be to the fair looking cute...it really is fun! (Unless specified, the whole royalty is to be there) They usually have you either judge or run many of the events. They will either send me a list of instructions for whatever event, or she'll have the instructions along with everything already set up there. All you ever have to worry about is showing.)

Reminders...

I will be leaving out of town Monday, July 27th at 1 pm. If you would like to come and get your dress BEFORE the fun run on Saturday, you need to call me before I leave. I would recommend this in case it needs adjusting.

DON'T forget the fun run on saturday morning, 8:30 am. This is not negotiable. You cannot participate in the pageant if you have not raised $100. If you are not there, I will assume that you are bringing me $100 to the 1st pageant week rehearsal (thursday, August 13th) that your mom, dad, or Aunty Em "donated". And just to remind you that whoever raises the most money gets $100 straight cash. Your money is DUE on that thursday. No exceptions.

The production number HAS to be LEARNED, MEMORIZED, and READY TO PERFORM on thursday. This year has the potential of being amazing production wise and you will stand out in a not good way if you are not memorized. Does that mean you need to be the best dancer, no. But there is a big difference between not being a good dancer and OBVIOUSLY not knowing the routine.

Please make sure if you are needing anything...ANYTHING that you let Angela or I know. We are here to help. We are here to run modeling, the production number, interviews, your talents, make up ideas, hair ideas, whatever it is you are stressing about, let us know and help you. BUT you need to make sure we are aware of it BEFORE the week of the pageant so that we are able to help adequately.

I want you girls to know that I am so proud of you. I can't speak for Angela, but I can tell you for myself that you girls light up my life and give me an outlet that allows me to enjoy my own. I appreciate your willingness to step outside your box and comfort zone so that others can watch you shine. I wish you all could see what I see in you and I hope that this is a good enough experience so that whatever the outcome you come back next year and play with me again! I was a little unsure of doing this a few years ago. Not sure if I was in a position to do something like this, but I am so thankful I did....I'm so thankful I have the blessing of getting to know girls like you every year and enjoy every minute of it! Thanks to Erika and Angela who make it easy to enjoy it! I love all of you!
