At the pageant, no one will have time to show you where the dressing area is, where to line up, what to do, etc. and you will not be able to go on-stage to practice your walk.

3 Someone should walk out with contestants in the Baby, Wee, and Tiny Miss divisions. If there are any Tiny Miss contestants who are comfortable walking alone they may do so, but a parent/guardian needs to remain on stage near the stairs. All other divisions will walk alone unless there is a special need. Please discuss this with me at rehearsal if needed. We will start with the youngest group promptly at the start time. Each group gets one walk through. After everyone has walked we will have a final line up for judging of the optionals. Once they are judged, you may exit the stage but, remain close for crowning. Please be there at the start time. Be patient and courteous while others rehearse. We will move though each contestant in a timely manner allowing each girl the time to understand what she needs to do yet getting to each age group as quickly as possible. CONTESTANT NUMBERS: They will be given out at check-in. For the pageant and are assigned based on receipt of application and entry fee.
