Participant Stage Commentary (3 points)

Participants should write commentaries indicating exactly what they want to hear announced about themselves and their outfits while modeling on stage. Commentaries should be written in the third person and should include a participant’s name, county, age, features of the outfit that audience members can see from a distance, important lessons learned in developing or selecting the outfit, and clothing related and/or educational goals for the future. Include attention-grabbing phrases that emphasize the uniqueness or specialness of the outfit. Suggestions for describing outfits can be obtained by looking at the back of pattern envelopes, magazines, or catalogs. Use detail phrases like “brown belt pulls together brown shoes and cream shirt” or “wrapped-front dress is accented with side tie closure.” Commentaries should be brief and concise;minimum of 55 words and maximum of 100 words. Assistance with writing stage commentaries can be found by linking to the State 4-H Awardrobe Clothing Event webpage for Commentary Help and Helpful Hints at
