Memorable and Energetic: The music should be catchy and memorable, with a strong melody and rhythm that can engage the audience and keep them entertained.
Age and Theme Appropriate: The music should match the age group and theme of the pageant. For example, a youth pageant might feature more upbeat and youthful music, while a more formal pageant might use classical or orchestral pieces.
Versatile: Pageant music should be adaptable to different choreography and performance styles. It should allow the contestants to showcase their talents and personalities.
Culturally Sensitive: If the pageant is international or features contestants from diverse backgrounds, it's important to choose music that is culturally sensitive and respectful.
