AMEN TO THIS!!!! I used to direct a pageant system about 3 years ago -- Former and never again pageant director,

and pageant moms would say I want to do your system and we would like to see such and such awards given at your system so I go and find the big large crown and 4-6' 2-3 post trophies, custom banners and the works to give yet I would spend out money everytime and might get 3 deposit by the deadline. Then maybe a day or so before the pageant 10 moms contacted me wanting to do the pageant and would say I will pay at the door I promise I will be there so I show up at the pageant and pay the room rental fee, judges fee and haul my awards there to have maybe 7 contestants. Moms don't understand that you have to have a deposit in order to know how many awards to get or what to expect the turnout for your pageant. Most systems I see (expect nationals) only require a $15-30 deposit and this is just to ensure them that you will be attending the pageant. This is why I gave up as a director. I love pageantry and being involved but for this reason it has turned me against being a director. I now enjoy just attending and watching my niece and friends doing the pageants.

If you were so upset then why didn't you talk to the directors before you left? If I recall, the emcee did say that if you had any questions concerning the pageant to be sure to come and talk to them. And they were still there when I left which was plenty of time to speak with them. Also, there was about 20 kids there, not 13. The awards were not cheap. Crowns were from 4 1/2" to 10" and trophies at least 2ft. to 5ft.
