In reply to: 's message, "Coaches should not MC pageants. Too much COI." on 10:42:35 10/19/07 Fri

A couple of years ago, my dd competed at a national where the MC was a coach(I didn't know until the pageant was over). My preteen daughter said the MC smiled at the other girls as she introduced them for each event and never fumbled on their names. She was one of the girls my daughter admired when she competed and was excited to see her as the MC. I, too noticed the indifference, but thought it was just my own reaction. So reserved my judgement until I got the dvd. Sure enough my instincts were right. I later learned she coached most of the girls who competed or knew them from her "group". And no, we did not belong to ANY group at the time and my dd felt "left out" at that pageant. We never returned. It's one thing as a mom to see this happening, but when an 11yr old picks up on this and wonders why she's treated differently, how do you explain this to her? That's why we both love Mr. Tim. He treats each girl as the Shining Star she is at the moment when she is on stage. No, I am not trying to promote Mr. Tim. Just pointing out the difference when directors use true professionals to mc their pageants

[> This is a good one. I recently went to a pageant where my daughter's info from the emcee sheet was not read while she was onstage. After viewing the DVD I found she was the only child in her division who did not have her bio read. We are not part of any coaching group but the emcee is a well known coach. I was very disappointed. How hard is it to just read the information for a kid onstage? -- Anonymous, 11:39:35 10/19/07 Fri [1]
