Please remember that your actions could reflect the person you are there to support.

As we are expecting a full house on Sunday night, the event staff of Great Lakes Pageantry will work very hard to make sure all non-access points are marked for everyones convience. While we are all excited to see the many competitors and entertainers, it is important to remember that there will be no backstage/dressing room access to ANYONE unless they have a badge. We are working very hard to maintain the safety of not only our entertainers but also the safety of our contestants and their belongings. Contestants can be penalized if someone from their camp is caught in restricted areas.
