My Song

My song was picked a bit late for no other reason than the fact that I wanted the perfect song for Miss NH this year. I was looking for a song that really spoke to who Alicia Rossman is for this year’s competition. I ended up hearing the song on the radio and at that very moment knew I had to sing it at Miss New Hampshire. The song is called I Was Here written and performed by Country's Hottest New Band LADY ANTEBELLUM! If you haven't heard them yet, you should absolutely buy their CD they are truly the hottest thing in country right now and have amazing songs. http://ladyantebellum.com/

The lead singer of the band actually wrote this song and sang it at her high school graduation and then later on she became famous and Lady Antebellum was asked to produce the song I Was Here for TEAM AMERICA'S Olympic theme song. They were also asked to be the theme song in the Breast Cancer Walk media commercials. Anyway...I knew I had to sing the song the moment I heard it because it goes like this: It's almost like I went to Nashville and sat down with a song writer. We sat down to chat over lunch about my life story and a week later the writer sent me the song he wrote for me! Cool story! It's not true but the song is really like my theme song that I could wake up to every day and jam to.

This song is the perfect song and I can't wait to sing it for the judges on Thursday night. Come see the show Thursday night to cheer for me during talent. The show starts at 7:00 on April 30th I will also be competing in On-Stage Question that night. Get your tickets at: http://www.missnh.org/

Lyrics: I Was Here
You will notice me
I'll be leavin' my mark,
like initials carved in an old oak tree you wait and see
maybe I'll write like Twain wrote
cure the common cold
I don't know but I'm ready to start cuz I know in my heart

I wanna do something that matters
say something different
something that sets the whole world on its ear
I wanna do something better, with the time I’ve been given
and I wanna try and leave nothing less than something that says I was here

I will prove you wrong
if you think I’m all talk,
your in for a shock cuz this dreams too strong, and before too long
maybe I'll compose symphonies
cuz I know it's my destiny to leave more that a trace of myself in this place

I wanna do something that matters
say something different
something that sets the whole world on its ear
I wanna do something better, with the time I’ve been given
And you’ll see that I, I’ll leave nothing less than something that says I was here

My Gown

I am so excited for Miss New Hampshire this year! Everything has fallen into place perfectly. The first thing that fell into place was my gown. It is beautifully made to fit my body in every way. AJ from Chantilly Place designed my gown for Miss NH and I was able to communicate to him what I wanted. I had such a great experience going to his shop in Lowell MA. He was so much fun to work with. Each time I went to his shop during my fittings I cried tears of joy because I was so happy with my gown.
Ok so I have to admit the first time I cried was the first time I was at his store and we both had this great idea for a gown but this was my first time making something from scratch so I ended up getting really emotional because I was #1 VERY NERVOUS and #2 VERY EXCITED (I think the nervous part was what made me cry)
Each time I went to him I fell in love with the dress even more. The final fit made me cry because I felt like a rock star! The dress is perfect. I even gave AJ goose bumps because he was so happy for me.
I think you will find my gown is elegant and sexy all in one! I can't wait for the evening gown music to come on on Friday night!

Check out www.missnh.org to purchase tickets for Friday night if you would like to come and see my amazing gown. I will be competing in Lifestyle and Fitness as well as Evening Gown on Friday. The show starts at 7:00 I hope to see you there!
