year, etc. The President will introduce the emcee for the evening and after a brief introduction, the formal presentation begins.The Junior Ticktockers are individually introduced with their chosen escort. After their individual introduction, the Ticktocker waits in the front of the room with their escort. After each Ticktocker is introduced, the Juniors and their escorts go to their seats to watch the remainder of the Presentation. After a brief introduction by the emcee, each Senior Ticktocker will be introduced with her escort. As they proceed around the room, there will be a reading of each Ticktocker’s biography which includes brief information about their school and activity accomplishments, but primarily focuses on their work with NCL, their favorite philanthropies, favorite mother/daughter event or moment, what touched her heart in particular, what areas of leadership were served in NCL, , and what her plans are for the summer following graduation and after high school. Next, there is a brief family interchange (Senior Ticktocker, Escort, Mother and Father if involved) where the Ticktocker gives her mother a rose and hugs between the mom, dad and Ticktocker occur. The Father and Mother then present their daughter with the NCL charm. The escort will then help the Ticktocker to the stage. The parents and the escort return to the table. After all girls are presented, there is a formal choreographed group father or waltz designee/daughter dance (the Waltz), followed by the moms and escorts joining the group. A professional (or chapter volunteer) will produce a slideshow, which will be played as the doors to the ballroom are opened. The focus of this slideshow will be the Senior Ticktockers at work at NCL activities, whether league activities or philanthropies. A second slideshow will also be prepared, which will be played during the dessert. Each girl will personally select the song that they would like to have played, during their segment of the video presentation. The slideshow will consist of 8 – 10 photos of each girl, containing pictures as a baby through senior year.The special evening concludes with a celebration, complete with music, dancing and a lot of fun for everyone!
