Last night Terri and I attended a 'ceremony' at the Grace Christian Academy on Tinian, where they choose a group of children who complete to become the 'Royal Court', including King and Queen, of the island. The children were 4-6 years old, dressed up in gowns and finery--they even had the 'royal wave' down as they walked around and waved to the crowd!
They sang songs, and even had a small dance number (to the James Taylor song, How Sweet it is), choreographed expertly by Sister Ellis, the Pastor Reid's wife.
After the two children were chosen to be king and queen, they had a fireworks display from the top of the Grace Christian school building (the school and church are the same building).
The 'theme' for this year was "How Sweet It Is To Be Loved"--there is no greater feeling than to love and be loved.
At the close, they had a raffle. The evening was the completion, and celebration, of Grace Christian's fundraising campaign.
The Queen was: Victoria Nicole Sablan; the Princesses were: Ryana Diaz, Sire Aliyah Fernandez, and Kayla Manglona
The King was: Victor Nicholas Sablan; the Prince was: John Eric Barcinas
