Check-in and registration will open at 8:00 a.m., with the pageant scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m. Proceeds and donations from the event will help provide snacks, water, and support for student band members throughout the year.
The competition features 10 age divisions for female contestants, ranging from Baby Miss (0–23 months) to Ms. (30+), and three divisions for male contestants spanning ages 0 to 13 and up. In addition to division winners and alternates, organizers will award three Girls Supreme Titles, a Mister Cardinal Supreme Title, and side awards.
Main competition entry is $70, which covers formal wear and an on-stage interview. Optional additions include a $20 Christmas wear category, a $10 photogenic digital photo add-on, and the Cardinal’s Choice People’s Choice award voted on at $1 per vote. Contestants may wear Sunday best or formal pageant attire.
The pageant is also incorporating a community service drive for the band. Contestants who bring the largest donation of individually packaged snacks or bottled water for high school band members will win the Overall Community Service Award, which includes a large crown and embroidered sash.
Spectator admission at the door is $5 cash, with one complimentary adult admission per contestant 18 or older and free entry for children ages 3 and under.
