CORNERSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL CHEERLEADERS 323 S. MAIN STREET CORNERSVILLE, TN 37047 WENDY RIDLEY ridleyw1@k12tn.net Dear Contestants and Parents, The annual Miss Cornersville Pageant will be held on May 8, 2015, at 7:00 p.m. in the Cornerville High School Theater. Applications are due on Friday, April 17, 2015. We will have a meeting on that date to discuss details about the pageant. Your sponsor fee of $35 is due at this time; checks should be made out to CHS. Sponsors can be anyone or any business. The sponsor fees are used for pageant expenses. Remaining funds as well as proceeds from admission will go to the Cornersville High School Cheerleaders. We will meet on Friday, April 24, to draw numbers, take photos for the paper, and to turn in your container for the People’s Choice Awards. On this day, you will receive a packet of information including your number, interview questions, dresser’s badge (one dresser per contestant), and one free pass for a person of your choice. Each dresser will be required to present the badge to enter the dressing area. No one will be admitted without a badge. The required rehearsal will be on May 7th, immediately after school. All contestants should bring the shoes they plan to wear in the pageant to practice. Each contestant will compete in the first and second rounds. The first round is the casual/sportswear round. Clothing should be age appropriate and should cover back, belly, boobs, and booties. You know what I mean. If you have a question about your outfit, you can email me a photo at ridleyw1@k12tn.net for approval. You will be required to introduce yourself and your sponsor during this round. You will not be scored for your introduction. However, your presentation could influence the judges’ overall assessment of you. The second round is the formal wear competition. Again, clothing should be age appropriate with nothing bare at the midriff and side slits should end at an appropriate level. The top ten will be announced for another judging to narrow to the Top 5 (If there are fewer than 12 contestants we will skip this step.) Finally, the Top 5 will compete in the final interview phase of the contests. The Jenna Martin People’s Choice Award is sponsored by CB&S Bank. Each contestant will display a container representing her personality. Family, friends, and fans will contribute money to the containers with the overall winner selected by the total amounts in the container after the Top 10 announcement. Contestants will also vote for Miss Congeniality after the Formal wear competition. The word “Miss” represents a young lady, never married, with no plans to marry within the year. We will not accept applications from anyone who has been pregnant. Miss Cornersville is a representative of our school and should hold herself to the highest of standards. The crown bearer is expected to have honor and grace while holding the title. The winner will be expected to represent the school in the homecoming parade and homecoming ceremony. Any other parade is her prerogative. Please keep this page for your information. Again, thank you for your interest in being a contestant in the Miss Cornersville Pageant. Wendy Ridley My child ____________________________________, has permission to participate in the pageant sponsored by the Varsity Cheerleaders. I understand her photo and name will appear in the local newspaper and her photo and name MAY appear on Cornersville School’s social media sites. I understand the judges for the pageant are contracted by a third party and are in no way related to anyone at CHS. Should my daughter win, I understand I will be required to arrange a convertible for the Homecoming parade at CHS as well as for any other parades in which I chose to participate. While holding the title of Pageant Winner, I will encourage my daughter to be a good representative of Cornersville Elementary and Cornersville High Schools by having good behavior, attendance and high academic standards. I am including a sponsor’s check made out to CHS. (If you have multiple contestants in your family you can make out one check and you will receive one receipt in the oldest child’s packet.)
