The Daffodil Festival Royalty Program

2006 Royal Court

Beginning in 2008 the Daffodil Royal Court will expand to a total of 23 with the addition of Cascade Christian into the Royalty program. Each young lady is a senior from one of the 23 participating Pierce County High Schools.  The Princesses vie for various educational scholarships and for the title "Queen of the Daffodil Festival".  Princesses are Festival representatives to community organizations throughout the Festival season.   The Daffodil Queen and members of her Royal Court also represent the communities of Pierce County as they travel to more than 20 out of town festivals throughout the Pacific Northwest.  A Queen Mother, assisted by Chaperones, is in charge of the visitation program and escort the girls to and from appearances and out of town festival events. 

2005 Royal Court

Starting in September, preparation is begun, involving hundreds of individuals for the selection of the Royal Court.  Each of the schools involved hold Princess selections with a public invited program involving much of the school student body.  After each Princess selection a reception is hosted by by the Daffodilians. 

Once the Court is selected the Princesses begin to prepare for the Princess Promenade and Queen's Coronation.  Their schedule is hectic, but exciting.

Coronation night is an important and exciting event for the Princesses.  Judges, chosen several months in advance, will observe the Queen candidates to ensure the selection is based on more than just one night's appearance.  Candidates are judged on their Academic Standing, Personality, Attitude, Speaking Ability, Appearance, Sociability, Content of their Speech, Festival Awareness and Impromptu Speaking.
