Things are starting to gear up it seems. There are quite a few left.	Should be the usual number at state if things hold out	08:48:51 02/20/14 Thu
Numbers are low....Recruiting??? -- No name, 11:34:21 02/20/14 Thu I think high schools is a great place to start. Post flyers in high schools and ask the school to make annoucements regarding scholarship opportunites (NT) -- No name, 13:51:19 02/20/14 Thu I think that -- No name, 13:57:40 02/20/14 Thu I hate that option because newcomers can and do win over veterans many times -- more than once this year for sure, 15:57:22 02/20/14 Thu Plus at this point there aren't many vets left -- so it should be easy for newcomers to win, 15:58:17 02/20/14 Thu Personally, the cost is what keeps my daughter from doing it-- not at the lical level but state is sooooo expensive -- -, 17:49:29 02/23/14 Sun I don't see how it is any more expensive than most other pageant systems -- in fact it is cheaper than most, 09:10:38 02/24/14 Mon Are you serious? By the time you pay production fees, opening number dress, fitness attire, other fees. , etc. It is costly -- No name, 23:32:57 02/24/14 Mon LOL sounds like you're specifically referring to the Teen program which is done as a fundraiser -- I've heard production fees this year are going to be less, 07:55:47 02/25/14 Tue Miss don't have any production fee, they choose whatever outfits they want to wear on their own. Some housing fees and their CMN donation -- are their only mandatory costs I believe, 07:57:05 02/25/14 Tue And it's still less than Teen USA or other for profit systems -- No name, 07:57:39 02/25/14 Tue Build relationships with local dance studios and performing arts groups -- excellent places for recruiting contestants, 15:59:43 02/20/14 Thu Options for recruiting -- No name, 08:12:29 02/21/14 Fri I like the mentoring aspect but not the newbie title. It's rare for a newcomer to be ready to win her first local but it can happen -- they will learn from every pageant they do, 09:47:36 02/21/14 Fri Some great ideas! I think it's SO important to always be reaching out to new ladies. I think newbie titles are good, but not necessary. Sometimes girls gain experience and pageant skills by competing ina few locals. I LOVE it when a new girl can win on her first try! But I'll admit, that it is rare. -- No name, 08:04:21 02/25/14 Tue Because this entire program is about growth so it's very unlikely someone would or should win their first time out -- handing a newbie an undeserved title won't help her at state, 11:18:57 02/25/14 Tue its fine -- No name, 08:19:45 03/02/14 Sun Good potential for recruiting. But watch the negative posts. That will get you every time. -- No name, 00:55:42 03/04/14 Tue Well said! -- No name, 07:58:56 03/04/14 Tue Judges can usually tell if a girl is new because she typically is not as prepared as those who have been doing it. No one is saying that new contestants should never win, but that they are less likely to win. Yes it's about scholarships but it's about SO much more than just that -- everyone should try, but have realistic expectations, 07:58:17 03/04/14 Tue
