 Hundreds of spectators watch the stage, waiting for someone to make a mistake. Judging each tiny blemish and criticizing every movement. The stage is a place of comfort for Junior Breanna Scurry. She’s been in hundreds of pageants all across the country. But, the blinding brightness of the lights and thrill of being on stage is somewhat new to Senior Shauna Gearheart.

For Shauna, Miss Chapin is something she’s doing for fun. “It’s really kind of a why not thing and I figure I’ll already have a dress for prom.”

Breanna has already been working at this pageant for over two months. She’s got her dress. She’s ready for the pageant.

As for Shauna, she’ll be going shopping for her dress “sometime before the 13th”. She’s not nervous or scared… yet.

For Breanna, dress shopping is something she adores doing. “I love going to pick out my dress. You go into a store and there are dresses and you have to try on all these different dresses to see which one is your favorite. There are all kinds of different ones and when you find the dress that you want to wear, you fall in love with it and you just HAVE to have that dress,” She says.

For Shauna, the time until the pageant is filled with excitement. She’s eager to “[G]et to be on stage in front of the whole school plus a bunch of random people who decide to come. You get to get all dressed up and it’s just fun getting to wear a nice dress.” She says.

For Breanna, she looked up to all of the girls who have been Miss Chapin. “I really want to be Miss Chapin. I know every girl that does it says that but, I mean, its something I want to do, someone I want to be. And so, it’s a goal that I’ve set out to achieve and I’m going to try and accomplish it.” Scurry says.  

And for both girls, the Miss Chapin Pageant is something that they’ll be able to look back at and remember how much fun it was. They both agree that February 13 can’t get here fast enough.
