Supreme Assembly – July 31, 2018

Tuesday morning session at supreme was initiation where three candidates were initiated.  All three girls were daughters of master masons.  After the morning session was lunch and since we weren’t going to the girls’ luncheon we headed out to eat.  We had lunch at Steak ‘n Shake including Allison, Eliza, Akshita, me, Mom Amy and Mom Louisa.

Afternoon session was where all the GWAs and past GWAs were introduced.  We cheered from the audience for Libbie, Rachal, Kensley and Mom Renn.  They also presented more jurisdictional skits.

Once the afternoon session was over we rested in the hotel until dinner.  My group had dinner at Panda Express and then we went to the evening session.  Evening session was the cavalcade of flags which lasted half an hour! Mom Renn also gave her final address.  They announced all the ritual competition winners and our own Alyssa K. won 1^st place for the novice age group.  Go Alyssa!

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!
