“Miss Fort Dorchester 2008 Pageant” Summary

The Miss Fort Dorchester 2008 Pageant contained eighteen talented contestants all competing to be named Miss Fort Dorchester 2008. These contestants were in different grades: four freshmen, five sophomores, two juniors, and seven senior girls. They all were performing in an opening number. The opening number involved an arrangement of everyone dancing onstage. The Mistress of Ceremonies announced all of the girls and the judges’ background information. The entertainment of the pageant involved the former Miss Fort Dorchester 2007 dancing and singing to a song which was her talent portion last year and other Fort Dorchester Dancers performing their original pieces of work. The eighteen contestants competed in competitions like casual wear, talent, interview, and evening gown competition. The talent competition involved girls dancing, singing, presentations like monologues and photography. Each girl was talented in their own unique way. The interview competition was not seen by the audience because it was before the pageant started. Other guests that were featured in this pageant were visiting queens. The visiting queens were queens from relay for life.

After the entertainment and the competitions, the awards ceremony and crowning was the finale. The Mistress of Ceremonies presented the girls with trophies, plaques, and crowns. A People’s Choice award was presented to the contestant that had the most votes by other students and faculty. This pageant was entertaining to watch because of the contestant’s talents and their own personal style of clothing.
