I am the original poster, first let me say one thing, my child is ALWAYS monitored. She has never damaged a stage or any decorations. So let's not imply that "my dd" has been allowed to run around with total disregard for everyone else. Now, as far as focusing on the positives, I thought this board was here for us to mention things we would like to change. I think it should be a "rule" that we get a door badge with registration. Personally, I don't think that's too much to ask. I don't care if it's always been that way. It's wrong. I have not problem paying for her grandmother, daddy and siblings. But, come on, charging me for taking my 3 year old into the ballroom......It's just wrong. Sorry if it's not a positive comment, but I think it's something that needs to be changed. -- PARENTS FOR FAIR PAGEANTS CLUB

In reply to: 's message, "I have two MAJOR gripes about the last 3 national pageants I have attended. 1. Why the heck should I have to pay for a door badge? I have spent close to a thousand dollars entering the dang pageant. Why stick it to me for another few bucks just so I can watch my little darling? 2. Let my kid practice on the stage the night before. I don't care that La'Belle isn't done decorating yet, she's 3, and gets confused. She needs to know what the "x" looks like and exactly where it is. Otherwise, the nightly practice sessions and money spent on modeling is all for nothing. This REALLY GRIPES me if modeling is scored....then a judge will say, she took her eyes off me, and looked at the floor. Of course she did, she had never stepped on the dang stage before! UGGGGG... nothing upsets me more! Okay, that's my list. =)" on 18:18:25 10/18/07 Thu

[> [> We understand what your saying, but I think it would depend on how expensive the entry fees are. Some are very reasonable and some are over the top and so it would depend on the pageant. I mean they could let you in free and raise the entry fee to make up for it anyway. -- Anonymous, 19:22:38 10/20/07 Sat [1]

[> [> It sounds like you always watch what your child is doing, but I have seen some very destructive children in those ballrooms that the parents don't care. Thats why I think they should keep a staff member in the ballroom for pratice. -- Anonymous, 19:27:01 10/20/07 Sat [1]
