Most of the people that do lighting, sound and are chaperones are people they've been working with for years, which makes the entire pageant crew and contestants a tight-knit group. The girls' families and personal hairdressers will not be allowed to work with them while the pageant is underway. "They don't depend on their parents that weekend," Thomas said. The pageant girls do have to find a lot of money for makeup, dresses and swimsuits. Sturkie said an average dress can cost as much as $2,000, and a swimsuit can cost about $250. Many girls rely on their families to back up the cost. Others pay for interview lessons, and they must catch up with current events. Once all of these preparations are finalized, the preliminary competitions within the state-level pageant can begin. There are preliminary swimsuit and evening gown competitions, as well as an interview. Sturkie said she feels the Miss USA system provides one of the best interviewing processes. "We have very rigorous interviews at the preliminaries," Sturkie said.
