What happens at a Pageant Prep session?
We offer the pageant prep to contestants so they feel prepared, have an opportunity to practice, and get advice and instruction. The teachers of the pageant prep have competed and/or judged on the local, state, and national levels!! These coaches pride themselves on connecting with each contestant along with helping you feel “ready” for the exciting pageant weekend ahead!!
The pageant prep is included in your sponsor fee! You will be taught all the necessary skills for pageant weekend including how to use a microphone effectively, modeling techniques, interviewing and speaking skills, and much more!
You will learn and practice Formal Wear, Personal introduction, and Interview. You will even be given homework and a report card so that you know what you need to work on to better prepare for your pageant weekend.

1. First of all, please bring a positive attitude and be ready to make new friends. At the pageant prep, you will be meeting the other State Finalists from your area who will be attending the pageant!
2. Next, you will bring the first half of your sponsor fee. The first half of your sponsor fee is $275.
