Majorettes

Our troup a few years ago.

I have decided to write about majorettes and what it involves because its a huge part of my life.

The majorette troup i belong to is called Blue Angel Majorettes. we are based in Hemel and practise at hemel school. you can start at age three and stay untill your 18 when you can go on to teach and help out if you want to. Our troup is one of the only troups you will find that does not compete, we are purely a performance troup and thats the way i like it as its far more relaxed and theres never any real pressure. We dont have to wear uniform to practises the only real rule is no jeans and we call our teachers by their first names , there more like friends than teachers. I have some amazing friends there and in January 2011 i will have been going for eleven and a half years.

at the start of every year we learn a series of routines that make up our show. Your age and ability depend on what dance your in however our finale includes everyone. we will do the same show all year at at various fates and fields all over the place. The shows are almost always at the weekends and at any time. We also participate in carnivals and the same principle applies, we learn one routine that we do all year. However i enjoy carnivals a lot more as we aslso do party dances like YMCA, superman, the finger song and some seriously wierd ones i didnt even know existed,i think i must look really stupid but its a good laugh. This year alone we have done over 17different shows and carnivals, its not much really but it does take up a lot of your day, and were not finished yet i have a carnival later today and im just hoping it doesnt snow.

every other year we put on a huge pantomime at christmas and everyone loves it as its something completely different to what we useually do. The year when we dont do a pantomime we do an exam. And very soon we are having our christmas party which is exciting.
