The Royal Court of Mariana 2009!

Each year the Grace Christian Academy on Tinian holds a fundraising program that selects a Royal Court-- a King and Queen, and Prince and Princess are selected.

The four children who were up for King and Queen this year are seen above. The King from last year is seen on the right, and last years Queen is seen on the left.

The four candidates performed a dance for the audience

The previous King says his goodbyes to the audience

And the previous Queen gets to say her goodbyes also!

The four candidates wait excitedly to find out who will win the contest and become King and Queen!

The runner-up and chosen Prince was Henry J. H. San Nicholas Jr. He proudly holds his trophy and wears his winners banner!
