QUESTION & ANSWER:
Q: Does it cost anything to enter the pageant?
A: No, there is a $25.00 commitment fee which you receive back on dress
rehearsal night. Also, there may be a costume fee depending on the pageant theme, but it would not be more than $35.00
and you keep the costume.
Q: What type of clothes do I need for the competition.
A: In most cases, you may have them in your closet. It is not the
most expensive outfit that will win the title, it's the person. You will need the following:
-
Swimsuit (must be approved by the pageant board, there are certain rules
regarding these)
-
Talent Outfit - whatever you feel necessary to perform your talent
-
Evening Wear - This is something you would wear for a formal night
out on the town.
-
Interview Outfit - This is can be a suit, dress or pants outfit, whatever
you would wear for a job interview. This is your first meeting with the judges so first impressions could be lasting!
-
Opening Number Outfit - This will either be determined for you depending
on the theme of the pageant, or it might be something you have at home such as blouses and jeans or black dresses, etc.
Q: What is the Time limit on Talent?
A: 2 Minutes
Q: What kind of commitment do I make if I compete and/or win the Title?
A: We have 3 rehearsals on the Sunday's preceding the Pageant date of and one Dress rehearsal
on the Friday evening before the pageant. At these rehearsals we take the time to work on walking in Physical Fitness
and Eveningwear, we set up Mock Interviews with qualified judges, and we give you the time to work on your Talent. There
will be an opening and closing number that we have rehearsals for, but they are easily learned. We don't require the
contestants to learn hard routines, we want you to concentrate your efforts on the competition itself. Rehearsals
are not mandatory with the exception of the Dress Rehearsal, however, we feel strongly about you attending so that we can
help you prepare for every area of competition appropriately.
There is also a get together on one of the Sunday rehearsals with the Little Sister you will be assigned to
for the pageant, this usually is a pizza party.
After you become Miss Omaha or Miss Douglas County, you will be required to make some appearances and we will
work with you on preparation for the State pageant in June. This should not affect your school in any way, because
as you know, the Miss America Organization is a Scholarship Pageant, and we understand the importance of you concentrating
on being a student first.
