(iliotO'Jd I Ly Dec Institute pageant. The pageant will be performed in th Val A. Browning Center, Austad Auditorium. Summer pageant begins soon (con't from page 6) "Reflections of Eternity" was written by Mike and Sharon Berger of North Ogden. Mike is the author of two LDS books, over 100 articles and the 1985 Ogden Institute Tour Show. A pageant of music, dance, drama and slides, "Reflections of Eternity" features more than 300 young adults from the surrounding community. The cast is composed of a 290 voice chorale, 24 dancers and 10 dramatical actors. The group began rehearsals in mid June and practices approximately 6 hours every week. Castleton said the group is on target in terms of where he thinks they ought to be in preparation for the pageant. He said that they should have a little extra time for added polish. "We feel very very good about the strength of the personell this year," he said. The story is about a grandfather who has recently lost his wife Lucy. He is living with his daughter and son in law. Cstleton said the strength of the story comes from the ballance of comic and serious kinds of things. He said that the story is for people to relate to. "Everyone has been a member of a family." The story comes to life with the grandfather's involvement with the family and thier problems. His lessons and observations are illustrated by dancing and singing. Featured in a flashback where the grandfather remembers the music of the past, the chorale sings songs from the 20's up through the 80's. The flashback will consist of popular music including "Five Foot Two," "Dark Town Strutters Ball," "Inka Dinka Doo," "Sunrise Sunset," "You've Got a Friend" and "We are the World." Castleton said that the flashback was a favorite of last years audiences because people of all ages could identify with it. Leading the orchestra this year is Lars Yorgason, who also did most of the musical arranging for the small ensembles in the pageant. The production was choreographed by Robert and Evelyn Clark. The multi-media slide dimension that will be shown was put together by Joseph Lundwall. Tickets for the performances are $10 for families, $3 for adults, $2 for students 12-18, and $1 for children 11 and under. They can be purchased at the door, from cast members, at the Institute or at Harmony House Music. The Institute has asked that small children remain home if possible. Castleton believes that this year's pageant will be a success. He said it teaches things that people should constantly be learning. by JaNae Barlow Entertainment Editor The new Miss Rodeo Utah will be crowned tomorrow night at the Ogden Pioneer Days World Championship Rodeo. The contest began Sunday. Nine contestants from across the state are competing for the title. They are being judged on personality, appearance and horsemanship. The three catigories all carry an equal weight as to who will win the contest. The winner will compete for Miss Rodeo America at the National Finals Rodeo in December which will be held this year for the first time in Las Vegas, Nevada. Reagan Brown, a sophomore at Weber State College, has served as Miss Rodeo Utah for the past year. She said that when she entered the contest she had no idea she would win because it was her first year to compete in it. She said she entered the contest mainly for experience and preparation for future contests. Becoming Miss Rodeo Utah was the culmination of 12 years of goal setting for Brown. She said that she set her goal of becoming Miss Rodeo Utah when she won her first contest when she was 8 years old. She said that she has always watched the girls who were Miss Rodeo America every year at the Ogden Pioneer Days Championship Rodeo. She has always strived to be like them. Brown said that being a rodeo queen can be expensive. A great deal of time and effort goes into it. The outfits the queens wear cost any where from $150 to $700. Though her expenses have been great, Brown said her experiences have been worth it. One experience she remembers is the drawing together of her family at the National Finals Rodeo last year as she competed for Miss Rodeo America. Going to the contest frieghtened and overwhelmed, Brown said that she learned a lot from it. She said that when she arrived she was afraid to talk to people and she learned that people are generally interested in who she is and what she represents. "I learned that I really am a good person and that I love to meet people." Brown said that she has more of a will to win now then she did when she competed for Miss Rodeo America. She said she has realized that she is qualified to represent rodeo in america. Apreciative of her reign as Miss Rodeo Utah, Brown said that the things she has learned will help her through out her life. She said that she can now aproach people and talk to them about virtually any subject. "It took my being this title to be able to do that." Aside from the Miss Rodeo America contest, Brown has had many choice experiences. She said that every time she goes somewhere for an appearance there seems to be a different type of people there. Meeting with people from members of the Rotary Club, a club consisting of the top people in each field in the state, to handicaped kids, she said she has been moved by all of them. Every time she makes an appearance she is touched in a different way. She said that it is the people she will remember more that anything else and that it was the people who made it all worth while. Brown advises the girls who aspire to be Miss Rodeo Utah to work hard. She said it is important for them to be themselves, to be friendly and to relax. She sail, "if you worry too much about winning, it can ruin you." Looking back, Brown said she wouldn't change anything that has happened to her as Miss Rodeo Utah. She said however, that she would have liked to have been older. Brown was 19 when she went to the Miss Rodeo America contest. She believes the judges held that against her. p-y3a f t-t i ' - 1 I t ) i FOR SALE WHOLESALE! Best flashing arrow sign, $359 complete. (Four) slight paint damaged signs, $297.
