Happiness has to go with your mindset and not outside circumstances.
I do hope they reconsider moving it to the Multipurpose Complex.
before Sir Rupert Briercliffe Hall was built) were held on the AO Shirley Recreation. Grounds? They also put chairs as well. Not saying its the beat location but we should stop being so negative and think before we speak. We don't have all the information. The open air might be better than the Complex.
2. It is unfair to have our Queen contestants subjected to such low standards just to save money. We are demoralizing them from the get go. There was no class whatsoever in the grand reveal by having it at crafts alive. Come on!! Get some class, organizers!!
3. To have a queen show at the festival grounds is again demoralizing! Our Queen contestants should feel special. How can you even begin to expect royalty to exist when you place them in a dusty, festival village to perform at their best! Do better, organizers!! Come on!! Get some class, organizers!!
4. Let us support our Queen contestants and encourage them through this process as we see the shoddy conditions they have to deal with. How can they feel like Royalty when the planning committee is placing them in the lowest of standards. Come on organizers! Get some class, organizers so our contestants can feel like they are honored.
5. Take money from the funds being used for the 24 hours concert and put it towards paying the costs for the sports complex to hold the Queen show. Let’s get our priorities in order.
6. Why must we always do things with such low standards? Is that what we think and feel about our people? In order to feel better, we must do better. GET IT TOGETHER, ORGANIZERS!!
7. To our beautiful Queen contestants, time is short, use the resources out there to gain confidence and hold your heads high. Don’t listen to those who only have negative energy to extend. They have their inner issues preventing them from being positive.
Practice, practice, practice. See yourselves as Queens and act the role. Love yourselves and let that inner confidence flow outwards. Don’t be discouraged! This is an experience you can talk about for the rest of your lives. Whether you win or not, in your own right, you are all winners for having the courage to go out there and compete. You are braver than I would ever be. Wishing you all the best! Support each other as well. Sending love to you all.
