I have made it to Monroe for the start of the Miss Louisiana Pageant. On Saturday we’ll crown a brand new Miss Louisiana. But before then, it’s two nights of preliminaries and hours upon hours of rehersals.

Here are some of the pictures of our first rehersal on Wednesday night.

These are just some of the 29 contestants who are competing for the title. This is them in the opening number, “Life is a Highway.”

This is Brent May performing the opening number, with the Miss Louisiana contestants behind him.

These are just some of the Fleur De Lis Princess performing their Peter Pan number with Miss Louisiana 2008 Blair Abene.

And finally a blast from the past. Three former Miss Louisianas. From left to right, Amanda Joseph, Melissa Clark Whitworth and Mette Boving Castor.

Our coverage starts Thursday night on KTBS 3 News. I’ll be reporting live from Monroe.

The Miss Louisiana Pageant airs Saturday night at 8 o’clock on KPXJ CW 21. See you then!
