Whoop whoop!! The big day finally came! I was exceptionally nervous but way way excited! And what a busy day it was! Here is the rundown of my schedule:
-Get up at 7
-Curl my hair beautifully and do my makeup
-Grab my dresses and head to a photoshoot (Which was sooooo much fun by the way! Thanks to the creative director and hair arranger Baylee!)
-Head home at about 11
-Take a shower
-Do my hair and makeup again (Just a high ponytail this time!)
-Get dressed at head for interviews at 12 (Basically all I had to do was take the contestant in to their interview and introduce them to the judges. ie: "This is contestant number 1, McCall Devries.)
-Go to Heidi's and have my hair and makeup done AGAIN! (Yep, three times...)
-Collect all my things and head to the PAGEANT!!! Whoop whoop!
Ok now this is the memory part where I describe everything, even though no one else really cares, for my own benefit! Ok so we had 5 beautiful talented contestants this year!
♥ Contestant Number 1: McCall Devries
♥ Contestant Number 2: Jamie Spackman
♥ Contestant Number 3: Misty Yamane
♥ Contestant Number 4: Cheyenne Gooch
♥ Contestant Number 5: Carissa Carbine
Before the pageant started I got into my big blue, rhinestony dress. I was worried about this one! I went barefoot though which was nice! I was worried because it was a little small so the zipper didn't like to stay up. I thought that it might fall all the way down! But it didn't!! Whoop whoop! After the production number, Ryan Snarr, the guest emcee, introduced me!!! I got to emcee the pageant almost the whole time! It was soo much fun! I had a lot to say and I was really nervous, but luckily my voice didn't shake or anything! I did mess up on a couple of words though and it was really embarrassing. The one word I hated in particular was "anesthetist." UGH! Brinley tried to help me learn how to say it but I just couldn't. It was horrible. Ha ha. Anyways, I left after I introduced Misty's talent to go change for mine! I LOVED my talent dress. It was shorter, black and sequiny on top, and white and fluffy like a tutu on bottom. It was sooo cute! I don't have any pictures of this one but I will get some from my photoshoot soon. I was SOOOOOOOOO nervous for my talent. After messing up at the rehearsal and the recital I just didn't think there was much hope! Especially since I was wearing 5 inch heels!! But I tried to think positive and I went out there and played Tarantella about the best I've ever done it! The piano was kind of muted but I didn't care! I was so relieved once it was over! A huge weight was lifted off of my shoulders! Then I emceed some more for evening wear and on-stage question. Then I left to change into another favorite dress of mine, a neon pink really seuqined poofy dress! I kind of felt like Barbie, and looked like her too! I did my final walk barefoot and everyone could tell. Apparently it was hilarious! Lisa Chandler, Jamie's hostess who helped me into the complicated lace-back dress, told me that she couldn't tell I wasn't wearing shoes but she was wrong! Ha ha, I kind of made a fool of myself but it was a whole lot easier to walk!! Then the Mayor gave me a plaque for all of my service. (I had to get an 5x6 picture for it and it was a total pain, but it turned out cute!) Mayor Nagle talked to everyone about everything I've done in the community this past year. Then it was time to introduce Lyndsey, Little Miss Syracuse, and start the crowning!!! We crowned McCall the Spirit of Syracuse (I voted for her so I'm glad she got it, she was sooo cute and outgoing!), Jamie the first attendant, and Cheyenne the queen. I'm not surprised how it turned out. I called it exactly like that! (: I could so totally be a judge. I had some trouble crowning them, the crowns are not by any means simple, but I think I did ok. Lyndsey was great and we had so much fun! I'm kind of sad to be done, I've just loved it sooo much, but "don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" right? Well congratulations to our new royalty! This was a seriously fun pageant! It was definitely one to remember!
