Subject: Continued-I enjoy the big evening gown productions at Volunteer America where they group the colors and then have them come out together. Another thing is that I think once contestants win their states, they might do short videos on TikTok or Instagram to follow their journey. Me personally, if I see contestants compete over time and then get to see them finally at Miss America, I am invested. I think others would be as well. I am also wondering those videos should be made available on YouTube because they have an algorithm and might show up for people who might become interested if they see a video. All good ideas you have!
