2016-2017: Miss Pirate Princess Pageant
Your daughter has shown interest in participating in the 9th Annual Miss Pirate Princess Pageant at Fairhope Middle School. This pageant has been a great success and we look forward to another wonderful year!
The pageant will be held on Saturday, March 11th @ 6:00pm in the FMS cafetorium. Admission will be $5.00 per person and each participant will be responsible for pre-selling at least five tickets. Each participant will need a formal, floor-length gown for the Beauty Walk and an appropriate outfit for her interview. There will not be a talent portion in the pageant. Each girl will interview with the judges on the morning of Saturday, March 11th at Fairhope Middle School. The Beauty Walk portion of the pageant will occur that evening.
During the pageant, not only will Miss Pirate Princess be crowned, but we will also have a winner from each grade level (8th Grade Princess & 7th Grade Princess), as well as Miss Congeniality, Most Photogenic, Best Interview and Most Poised.
Each contestant will need to complete and email me a copy of the Contestant Biography and Contestant Interview forms-the editable form can be found on the school website-; and complete and return the signed ‘Permission Form’, as well as a $15 non-refundable entry fee to Mrs. Lanicek no later than Friday, February 10th.
There will be an informative parent meeting on Thursday, January 26th @ 3:00 in the FMS cafetorium. This meeting is not mandatory, but will be used to answer any questions that you may have regarding the pageant.
We look forward to working with all of the Princesses! If you have any questions, please contact me at 928-2573 or .
Sincerely,
