Pageant Weekend:
While our program places an emphasis on excellence, achievement, and personal growth, we also strive to make the pageant experience FUN! The pageant event is being held December 2 - 4, 2010.

THURSDAY
On the first day, Our Teen and Miss delegates will register, rehearse and have their Preliminary Interview at The Rhode Island Center for Performing Arts. During interviews, each contestant has the opportunity to meet individually with the entire judging panel for approximately three minutes. Each contestant has the opportunity to convince the judges she is right for the job of MISS RHODE ISLAND USA or MISS RHODE ISLAND TEEN USA.

FRIDAY
Friday afternoon is spent in rehearsals preparing each contestant for that evening ’s stage show– the Miss Rhode Island Teen USA presentation show and the Miss Rhode Island USA presentation show. During the Presentation Show, each contestant is `presented` to the judges in the preliminary swimsuit and evening gown competitions.

SATURDAY
The third day begins again with rehearsals and concludes with the final competition. At the end of the final show, we will have a new Miss Rhode Island USA & Miss Rhode Island Teen USA for 2011. The winner of MISS RHODE ISLAND USA will advance to the nationally televised MISS USA pageant, and the winner of the MISS RHODE ISLAND TEEN USA title will advance to the MISS TEEN USA pageant. Should MISS RHODE ISLAND USA go on to win MISS USA, she would then advance to the ultimate contest… the internationally televised MISS UNIVERSE pageant.

Contestants will be given a more detailed schedule with times as the pageant gets closer.
