On April 2nd, I attended Grand Competitions with a few other Manassas Girls. I competed in several categories and had a ton of fun playing games with the girls while waiting. It was a little stressful, but I had a really fun time and can’t wait to compete again next year.

On June 23rd, we made a scrap book for Grand Assembly to show how active we were this year. Our scrap book was made out of pictures taken at different events throughout the year. Everybody separated into tiny groups. Kaitlyn, Aaliyah, Mary, Phoenix, Sarah, Jamyah, Kayla, and many Rainbow parents to name helped make our scrap book special. In my group was Sarah and Jamyah. Kaitlyn took the pages that everyone did and added her special final touches. We came in first place for the competition at Grand Assembly!

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!

On April 14th, I went to the State Ritual Competitions for the first time. I think Manassas Assembly had the most people competing this year. I did the competition for my age group. I don’t think I did too well this time, but that’s okay because it’s good practice for Supreme Assembly for me and I now know what to expect. I did have a good time and when it wasn’t my time to compete we were doing each other’s hair and makeup as well as singing to Hamilton Musical songs with girls from not just our Assembly but other one’s as well. In the dining area there were games, snacks and Libby’s pop up shop for tickets and her Grand Year merchandise.
Overall, I had a good time and I really got to know Eliza, one of our Assembly’s newest members since she traveled with me and we were in the car for over three hours that day. I didn’t get home until late and I have to thank Mom Joanne and Kate for bringing home my Sherlock Holmes book that I forgot in the dining area. I really love that book!
