Buckroe Beach Adventure

My Buckroe Beach adventure started out the night before the event right after solving a murder mystery party.  We packed up the minivan and “kidnapped” Selena S. and five of us headed off to Newport News for the night.  We got a hotel room so we could sleep in and not have to wake up before dawn to get to the event on time.  That morning we had breakfast at the hotel and headed to the beach.  We had some trouble finding it so we were a little late, but once we got there it was sunny and fun.  We went into the water, played games and had a sandcastle building contest.  My ride had to leave early because traffic was bad and we had to be back for band rehearsal.  There were many girls from Manassas there including:  Kate, Dalanie, Zoey, M’Balu, Katie, Sami, Joella, Batu, Gigi and Selena and myself.

Supreme Assembly – July 30, 2018

Monday at Supreme Assembly was so busy!  My morning was packed since I had both an individual ritual competition and then needed to prepare for two group competitions.  Mom Nancy made sure we all had lunch:  mine was from Chick-fil-a.  After lunch I had my second group competition.  While we were sitting around waiting for our turn it was impressive to look at the other jurisdiction teams getting prepared.  They were so uniform with matching dresses and hair styles!  Once competitions were over I went back to Joella’s room to hang out until it was time for dinner.

My small group had dinner at Denny’s and then we had to rush to the opening session with so many introductions.  It was nice to see all the decorations with the stars that we had been selling all year!  We wanted to go to the hotel pool, but it was too late after opening session to go.

Murder Mystery Party

On August 10, 2018, Manassas Assembly had a fun event:  a murder mystery party themed:  Killing for the Crown.  We got all dressed up as beauty pageant contestants, beauty coaches or judges and got ready for a fun night of “murder” and “deception”.  It was so much fun and Ella played the character, aka Miss Tina Texas, that was “murdered” and Dalanie, aka Miss Amy Arizona, was the “killer”.  Bribes/”Donations” were taken and evidence was found.  By the end of the night everyone got to try to figure out who did it and why.  Prizes were given for the most money collected by the end of the night, guessing the correct killer, best actor and best dressed.  It was really fun and I can’t wait till the next party!

Supreme Banquet – July 29, 2018

My 2018 Supreme Assembly experience officially started with the Supreme Banquet on Sunday, July 29^th.  The room was so big!  It was impressive to see the ballroom because they said there were 101 tables in the room and there were 10 people at each table which didn’t include all the Supreme and acting supreme officers at the front.  They even had live music from a local school orchestra!  They served mashed potatoes, chicken, green beans & carrots, caramel cake and iced tea.  After the meal was over we were able to get a picture of all the girls and adults from Manassas Assembly.  I think that was the only time during the entire week that we were all together as a group.  Once pictures were done we cleared off the centerpieces and went to the dance put on by VA DeMolay and danced into the night until it was over.
