Re: Chairman's Presentation

Since teams are supposed to create a 3 minute video prior to competing for the CA, our team specifically used the exact video in our presentation, but without any sound. The presenters became the narrators during that time.
The extra 2 minutes outlined our entire team.

We carried pull-up banner props which gave a full visual of what we were presenting, to give the judges something else to see while the team spoke. We also carried in 2 15 pound 5 inch binders that highlight our entire program.
Even though the judges dont see it during the presentation.......we planted the seed that it existed, in case judges wanted to come by later to find out more about our program.

I would stress dressing professionally, with or without a theme.

You can find our banners and binders at the RCA HOF booth this year.
In addition, we will display our 2011 video in addition to other clips at the booth as well. There isnt much more we can bring since we are flying everything there, with our options narrowed because of it.

With all of the suggestions presented, what's most important is preparation and sticking to your foundation points of your team. No matter what question(s) are asked, it always goes back to your key points.
Also, because of the short 5 minute of presenting and up to 5 minutes of Q/A, give judges a reason to come back to find out more about your program in the pit. Its a way to get additional informal interview time.
I think ultimately though, its your presenters that are the X-factor. They set the tone and the dynamics of how great your presentation can/will be. Our team was VERY lucky to have 2 girls that were very poised, mature, and polished under pressure. In fact, one of our girls co-MC'ed the Hawaii regional this year with Mark Leon, and is running for Miss USA Hawaii in 2013.
