In November, 13 Corona girls competed in the second annual Miss Corona Pageant. Among the participants there were two seniors, four juniors, three sophomores and four freshmen.
The pageant is based on a typical Miss America pageant, with a personal interview, talent and onstage question portion. Each girl was judged in each of these categories, showcasing their talents, fashion and smarts.
The beginning of the show began with the personal fact portion. Each contestant walked onstage with a child and struck a pose as the emcee read off facts about the contestant and child.
The next part of the show was the talent portion, where each girl showed off her individual and unique talents. The talents ranged from tumbling to dancing to impersonations, and even comedy.
Formal wear came next, each girl dressed up in a dress and heels and strutted to the front of the stage where once again they struck a pose or gave a sassy face.
After the fashion show each contestant walked on stage where they were asked a question by the emcee and the girls answered in their own unique way. The questions varied from math to personal interests, and the answers given were interesting, to say the least.
At the end of the show four awards were given out. Sophomore Maddie Douglas won the Blockbuster award for most donations collected. Junior Stefani Jarman received the Shining Star award (Miss Congeniality). The talent award was given to freshman Amanda Johnson, who displayed her skill in dance routine. The overall winner of the Miss Corona Pageant was sophomore Jackie Ellis, who showed her strength in each category.
Miss Corona was not just a show; the event also raised approximately $2,500, which was a much bigger success than expected. The money raised is benefiting soldiers overseas during the holiday season. Both Corona Conservatives and Fallen Heroes club worked hard to make the event the success that it was.
“Miss Corona was a very fun and exciting event to attend. The event not only raised money for a good cause, but also gave students a chance to get to know their fellow classmates a whole lot better,” said teacher and co-coordinator Steve Foggatt.
