One of my biggest gripes about current beauty pageants is the music, and the fanfare leading up to the announcement of the winners.
Remember how the fanfare at Miss Universe in the 80's and 90's created excitement and dramatic effect as each runner-up was announced? As each runner-up was announced the fanfare would step up one notch until it reached a crescendo just before the announcement of the winner?
It's not a pageant fanfare, but it is my favourite fanfare of all-time. The 20th Century Fox fanfare.
