Whew! I do have to say it is very fun to be on the OTHER side of the contestants! Stacie, Jamie, and I worked with the girls yesterday on opening number and evening gown production choreography. The contestants are picking up the moves quickly – kudos to them! We are moving on to swimsuit choreography today, which is going to be done to Circus by Brittney Spears. The modern music is accompanied by modern swimwear from Lori Coulter in Saint Louis, and is a sure sign the Miss Missouri program is moving forward with the new Miss America trends! Each girl will be wearing a black swimsuit of her choice, and I cannot wait to see the individual swimsuits, it really is an expression of each contestant’s personality!
Lest I remind everyone that while being in shape is part of the competition, it is called Lifestyle and Fitness, and is often won from the neck up! So ladies – remember to smile and be the confident women we know you are! The ladies will all compete in swimwear on Friday night, as the top Teen contestants compete on the Miss Missouri stage!
Well, fully caffeinated and ready to go, I am off to rehearsal! We will post thoughts on this afternoon and evening’s rehearsals. The stage is ready ahead of time – so we are shifting onto it this afternoon!
Warmest wishes,
Lindsay & Jamie
