Don't let this scare you off. The biggest rule you have to remember for being a director (I've been there, prelim, state and national). You MUST live up to your promises. If you promise decorations, have them and make them nice! If you promise no pro rating, follow up, Whatever you say on your paperwork, it is in writing and pageant moms will hold you to it. Don't promise what you can't give and give exactly what you promise, and hopefully more. Plan wayyyyy in advance, don't be buying decorations, gifts, etc the night before. Be organized. just plan for the unexpected. Ask other directors from reputable systems for advice. I'm always happy to offer advice on different aspects of running a pageant, because I want the other directors to succeed as well. It give that director a good name, as well as pageantry in general. Hope that helps and feel free to ask anytime you have questions! If you leave your email, or another contact email, I'll be happy to respond. -- Speak Your Mind

In reply to: 's message, "This one may have been bad. BUT do you think that maybe her second try would be better ? It must be very hard the first time out. I am thinking of becoming a pre-lim director. It is scaring me to death. Maybe she should be givin a second chance but have someone who had done many of them there helping and guiding her through it all a couple of times if needed. Hang in there director and contestants. Good luck to all." on 03:25:47 09/04/07 Tue
