I hope that you all feel like it was a successful meeting and that if you have any questions please feel free to call me and just ask. I hope you know how much I love your girls and enjoy watching them during this process. I am soooo proud of them for believing in themselves and putting themselves out there. They are amazing young women and I am so honored to be associated with them. Thank you again, for taking time out of your busy night and coming to my last minute meeting. Your girls are amazing because of their mother who stands behind her and supports her. I am so sorry that Friday is going to be crazy, but I am trying to take on most of that craziness so that the girls and parents can relax and just enjoy the experience. Please know that I care about your girls and am sooooooo excited for them. Thanks again, Tonya

March 27th - Before the workshop started, we had a box of easter eggs to fill for more volunteer hours. Our workshop consisted of The Interview part of the Pageant. Heather Kunde is amazing with these girls and she has helped them all be the best that they could be in participating in this pageant. The girls confidence is getting stronger and stronger. They are believing in themselves and knowing that they can do this. The Royalty helped with the interview portion, they performed a MOCK Interview and the girls had to face the judges.

Filling Eggs

We will have a box of eggs and candy that needs to be filled for the Easter Egg Hunt. If you would like more volunteer hours for your paperwork, this is the perfect opportunity. We will be there at 10:00am and will fill eggs, then we will go over the opening number and Interview questions. Please be there at 10:00am. Good idea to bring your heels and get more practice in doing the pattern of the walk before your interview questions from the princess. Thanks girls for your dedication and willingness to spend some of your Saturday with us. These ladies are amazing that come out of their willingness to help you with this pageant experience. Thanks again.

March 20th Pageant Workshop

Today's workshop was working more on the Opening Number and everyone brought high heels and worked on Poise and Presentation. Heather Kunde is amazing and she is teaching these girls so much about being confident and believing in themselves. At
first, walking on the stage and in heels and doing the pageant walk felt a little awkward, but they got the hang of it after some practice. These girls are going to be amazing that night. I can't wait for them. We were missing a few due to the Preference Dance at the high school and Girls Softball Tournament. I appreciate all of the girls being here if they can. At the bottom of all the pictures the Opening Number is attached through Youtube, so that you can practice with it.

Remember the costume for the Opening number is Black Jazz Pants, White long sleeve button down collared shirt, fitted NOT oversized. If you need to use your brother's that's fine. and any RED tie. It can be pasley, polkadot, strips, plain -- JUST RED!!!! Black Jazz shoes if you don't have any, BLACK socks.

PAPERWORK DUE

I need all of the paperwork and your picture brought to Saturday's workshop. I need it all typed out on the NEW sheets. Please take the time to type it out, I really would hate to see you docked for not typing it out. Don't Forget to bring a pair of heels, preferrably the ones that you will be wearing for the pageant. This workshop will be till 12:30pm so please plan to be there the whole time. We will be working on the opening number for the first half hour.

We had such a great workshop, even though we got a later start. We worked on the opening number for the first 30 minutes. (A special thank you to Tia for traveling ALL the WAY out to Ivins every Saturday to work with the girls on their opening number.) Then we were privledged to listen to Heather Kunde about Hair, Makeup, clothing and paperwork. She is so knowledgable about this whole pageant stuff and we are so grateful that she could share her knowledge with us.

March 6th Workshop

This workshop we worked on the opening number. The Theme for the evening will be "A NIGHT IN TIME SQUARE" The girls are dancing to "New York, New York". Here are some pictures that I took during that workshop. Remember the workshops are Every Saturday at 11:00 at Unity Park. This next workshop will be the Opening Number and Hair and Make-up.
