2012 Miss Arkansas PageantDiamond State Princess/PrinceParents,Thank you so much for your interest in the Miss Arkansas pageantand for allowing your child to participate in the Diamond StatePrincess/Prince Program. We are excited about the Miss Arkansaspageant and all the activities we have planned. We will need yourhelp and support during pageant week. Below is a schedule forthe week. (Please understand that things can change, we are notonly working on the princess schedule, we are also working withthe pageant schedule, photographers schedule, Miss Arkansas’schedule, etc.).We wanted to make you aware that on Sunday, July 8 th , 2012 atthe Bling It On party, the princesses/prince will be making postersto place around Summit Arena to show support of their misscontestant. We will be supplying the basic supplies (markers,glue, etc); however, if you want to “bling” your poster up more youmay do that. Please talk to your child and think ahead about whatyou want they may want their poster to look like and bring thoseextra supplies with you. The posters need to be completed at theparty. We will be hanging the posters in Summit Arena beforeWednesday evening.We also wanted to make you aware that the princesses/prince willbe dancing each preliminary night in a trendy outfit (depending onwhich evening their miss has evening wear). They will be dancingto “Spotlight” by Shaeleigh and dancing on Saturday with MissArkansas Kristen Glover to “All the Single Ladies” if your childdoesn’t know the music or words, now would be a good time todown load it off of I tunes. You can find Spotlight by Shaeleigh onYou-tube. It would help the choreographer if the girls at leastknow the words to the song. It makes it much easier to teach adance.

Below is a list of groups to help you know which night yourprincess/prince will be on stage. Please follow us on facebook***Miss Arkansas Diamond State Princess*** and we will try toupdate any new information.
