Miss Northern Suburbs Meeting

There is a Miss Northern Suburbs meeting today at Beach State park at 4pm. This is a pageant that is part of the Miss IL / Miss America system.

Sheridan holds the title of Miss Dupage County outstanding pre-teen but the title was appointed her. She then competed in the state competition in Springfield on Memorial day weekend last year. It was fun and a good experience.

Last year they started the Pre-Teen program for 10-12 year olds so many of the girls were appointed. This year there a competitions in order to go to state. Not sure how many girls in this age range will compete, but it can be very competitive. Her friend Cassidy is competing against her and she held the title Little Miss Vernon Hills. These girls are 2 days apart in age but Cassidy has 6 inches on Sheridan and is definitely looking like a teen (developing) where Sheridan still looks young.

This year for talent Sheridan is going to sing the song Good Morning Baltimore from the Musical Hairspray. For this competition they only have 90 seconds. Luckily I have friend, John, with a sound studio and he was able to cut/splice the song to get it to 90 seconds and sound right.

The competiton for Miss Northern Suburbs is at Lake Forest College on January 16 and there are Miss, Teen and Pre-Teens competing. They have private interviews with a panel (20%), have a question on stage & model their gown (15%) and Lifestyle/fitness wear (15%) and talent (20%).

The preteens are supposedly modeling some sports outfit. The Miss model a bathing suit. The teens, not sure. At Dupage County last year the teens modeled shorts and tanks and did a little stretch while modeling to show their shape and athleticism.

Will keep you updated.
