Miss IL Coed pageant

Tonight was the first night of Miss IL Coed.

The power went out at about 5 - 6 or longer. That kind of threw things off. The talent competition was supposed to start at 7 but we ended up starting at 630.

There are a lot of girls competing this year.
In Sheridan's pre-teen division there are 15 girls. I would say there are 5 that will be real competitors for her!!

She was great at talent tonight. I think she either won or got 1st runner up, but I may be biased. There were two other singers besides Sheridan. One sang acapela and was pretty good. One sang a very difficult song that is sung by Alfaba in Wicked... hard for a professional adult. Her other main competition was the girl who did baton twirling. The music selected was great and she did pretty well but she did drop a baton once... not sure how much it hurt her score. She did get the audience clapping with the music.

tomorrow is a big day with Intro and Interview at 1130am; Actress at 1; Speech at 2; Modeling at 3 and formalwear at 530.

We are staying at the Hyatt Rosemont tomorrow night because we are sharing a room with Connie and Brittany L. That is great because then we can stay and it only costs $65 (1/2 price)

Crossing my fingers for Sheridan. Our realistic goal for the pageant is top 5 however I would love her to win of course.

Sunday is opening number rehearsal from 8-9am and then time to get ready for crowning and awards ceremony at 11. Come join us if you want.
