So the pageant was awesome! I loved every minute of it but I'm so glad its over now and my life can be stress free. It was definitely an experience i'll remember forever. I have become pretty close friends with all of the girls and we still hang out.. they are all pretty awesome.
So... the pageant was last Tuesday and it was an all day thing! It started off with personal interviews-- I thought this would be the worse part... My interview was 3rd... and everyone was sittting outside the room freaking out thinking we'd be asked all kinds of polictical questions... Luckily during my turn i wasn't asked one thing about the World... I was asked about my platform which was Blood and Bone Marrow donations, about my dad, about my Talent which was Karate, sports, and about me wanting a jeep! It was so easy and that got my relaxed and pumped for the rest of the day.
Next we had a catered lunch on campus, funny part is i was scheduled to cater that event but got out of it and for once got to eat the yummy food instead of watching others eat it.
After the lunch we had 2 hours to do whatever before we had a last rehearsal of the performance...
That time was spent with me and shannon preparing our talent routines over and over until perfected and sneaking onto the stage to practice the opening dance..
For the performance it went as followed... We had the opening number in our little black dresses, the swim wear, talent, casual wear for on stage question, then lastly evening dresses.. It was all so fast that it was weird having 5 minutes to stand around with the girls back stage waiting for the judge pannel to tally up the scores...
First they called out Miss Dixie Spirit, then they announced 2 attendent which was Shannon, then 1st Attendent which was a shocker because everyone thought she would win but Lacey, then the rest of the girls and i stood there squeezing each others arms as they slowly announced Samantha... with a long pause then Cummings... which was the other Sam that was a Pageant girl... it was a total tease but she's an awesome girl and would make an awesome queen.
Here are some pictures....
