FAQ

When will my child receive her crown and sash? Crowns and sashes will be given when your child arrives for rehearsals for the Miss or Teen pageant.

May I stay with  my child during rehearsal?  Parents are not allowed in the auditorium during rehearsals.  However, they are more than welcome to wait in the lobby if it makes them more comfortable.

When are rising stars paired/selected? Miss orientation is the first weekend in March and Teen orientation is at the beginning of January.  During orientation, the Teen and Miss contestants notify the Rising Star directors if they are in need of Rising Stars or if they have already been selected.  From there, the Rising Star Directors pull from the waiting list (linked on the Waiting List Page).

When will official paperwork be sent to parents for those who are selected?  Paperwork and other important information is sent to those selected within one week of orientation.

What do Rising Stars wear? 

What are the dates for the Miss Alabama and Miss Alabama's Teen Pageants for the upcoming year? 

Does my child need to be there every night or for every performance?  For the Miss Alabama Pageant, your Rising Star is only required to attend rehearsal and the pageant the day her contestant performs her talent.  For the Miss Alabama's Teen Pageant, Rising Stars are required to attend rehearsal and either the afternoon or evening show- depending on when their Teen performs talent.
