On May 6th, Manassas Assembly #13 attended Ashburn Assembly #11’s Initiation, in which they initiated Ava. The girls who attended were Joella, Gigi, Katie, Zoey, M’Balu, Batu, Dalanie, Sami, and myself. All of us did at least one protem. Gigi was Worthy Advisor, Katie was Worthy Associate Advisor, Dalanie was Charity, Zoey was Hope and Nature, I was Religion and Fidelity, Joella was Patriotism, Batu was Service, M’Balu was Drill leader, and Sami was Faith. I was asked to be Religion at the last moment, so I spent Opening and the time when Love was doing her speech to refresh on my speech, as I hadn’t been Religion in a while, but I ultimately think I didn’t fail too badly at it. Fidelity was already implanted in my head since I learned it for Competitions, so that just came off without me having to give it much thought. When we had to bring the ribbons back to the pedestals, I got a little confused, but M’Balu helped me out and took the ribbon off.  After the Initiation, we all ate snacks and talked. Overall, the Initiation was very beautiful and memorable, and I’m happy that we have a new Girl in Virginia Rainbow!

On April 28th, Manassas Assembly #13 went to the MCHQWA Ball held in Kena Shriner in Fairfax. The girls who were there were Mackenzie, Kate, Allison, Jazmyn, Zoey, Katie, Ashley, Gigi, Sami, Emma, Dalanie, Jessica, Joella, Eliza, myself and a prospect, Grace. My dad drove me and Grace there, and the first thing that happened was everyone complimented Grace on her dress because, honestly, it was beautiful. We all had fun dancing, and there were a couple favorites that were played, such as Sweet Caroline and the Yodeling Kid Remix. The introductions were beautiful, and I’m pretty sure Dad Clancy, Gigi, Katie, and Preston got the loudest ovations because we were all screaming words of encouragement when they were being introduced. When I stopped, I had to stop for a minute to regain my voice. There were also other fun songs that were played, such as the cupid shuffle, and during the slow songs, some of us danced with each other. Overall, the dance was amazing, and I had so much fun!

Saturday, 4-28-18, the MCHQWA Ball was held. The girls from our Assembly that went were, Kate, JoElla, Katie, Sami, Delanie, Gigi, Zoey, Jazmyn, Eliza, Ashley, Jessica, Mackenzie, and Akshita. Akshita brought a prospect to the Ball. A visiting member from South Carolina, Alison, was also there. The ball was a lot of fun. About midway through the ball, I had hurt my foot, so I was forced to sit down and rest it a little bit. I grabbed a cup of Coke, which turned out to be my slow dance partner. We danced side-by-side through all of the slow songs. The introductions were fun and we cheered for everyone. All in all, the ball was one very fun place to be that night! I can’t wait to go next term!

On April 14th, Manassas Assembly #13 went to Competitions. The Girls there were Katie, Sami, Isabella, Batu, M’Balu, Isabella, Alyssa, Gigi, Kate, Eliza, Dalanie, Zoey, Ella and myself. I ended up arriving late because of a tournament I had to attend beforehand, but I made it just in time for the Fidelity competition. I did three competitions: The Fidelity Lecture, the Rose Lecture, and the Dad Talk. Once I finished competing in all the events I was competing in, we all sat on our phones, and at one point, M’Balu and Batu were brushing Eliza and Isabella’s hair, and I joined in with them. It soon led to us doing each other’s hair and makeup, as Isabella and I had makeup with us. Eliza did a crown in my hair which looked amazing, and she also taught me how to do it, and I did her hair and makeup. Batu and I also did Zoey’s hair in cute space buns which were just adorable. I ended up staying there till about 6:30, and I got home at about 9. I had lots of fun, and I’m definitely competing next year!
