Subject: Re: Author: No name [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Sunday, March 11, 01:25:40pm In reply to: 's message, "For the most part, parents pay. There might be times that a sponsor offers a dress, but I wouldn’t go into it with the expectation that will happen." on Sunday, March 11, 08:24:14am Thank you for your honesty, It seems like a very expensive endeavor. I know the stories about buying from thrift stores and borrowing from friends, but the truth is, i look at most of the girls who make it to state and their gowns alone look like they cost thousands. Not to mention,the interview and talent clothing, the cost of coaches, etc. My daughter has a very strong talent and I think she would do well, but I really don't think I want to go down this road. Seems like so much money that we don't have. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Speaking for many. I get concerned when people are trying to figure out who it is. It sounds a little stalker-ish. You posted something that people talk about every year in every state even on the MAO board. The costs are high.
