STEPHANIE’S 7TH BIRTHDAY

SCRIPT for DEBUT

INTRO: 
          We are gathered here today to witness the transformation of a young girl to a beautiful
lady. We are very lucky for we are chosen to be here and be part of this momentous occasion in
the debutant's life. You see her grow up. You see her smile. You see her laugh. You see her
everything. And now you are about to see her as a young lady. A lady of good heart, character
and ambition.
            A Seventh birthday marks almost the steps from babyhood to young lady. Join us as we
celebrate this wonderful girl's birthday celebration. Ladies and gentlemen, sit back and enjoy the
party for today…

ENTRANCE OF THE DEBUTANT 

And now for tha dazzling lady of the day, our debutant
(Note: First song to be played is “Eye of the Tiger”, which is just a blooper, needs adlib
pretending it’s a technical problem. Next song is “Lahing Pinoy” by Manny Pacquiao which is
also a blooper. Final song is “Beautiful in my Eyes” – real song for the entrance)

                In a land not so far away, there was once a little girl with a beauty of an angel. Born
under the sign of LEO, this girl is the only child of Mr. ____________________________ and
Mrs. ________________________.
                She grew up with so much love and kindness. She is loved by everybody for her
beauty inside and out. Her voice is an angel. Her smile bears no limit. Her heart is unafraid. Her
mind is ready to try. She's ready for any adventure for the sake of fun and friendship.
                  Ladies and gentlemen, may we introduce to you the debutant with her escort
