1st Small Drill And Groups Competition

We decided to pop for a few pics at the 1st Small Drill and Groups Competition at CPUT, Bellville Campus
We caught up with the Groote Schuur Drummies who were practising for their non-prop.

The age range for the team is 10-13 and they were participating in most of the events.
Hope they do well.

Are We Growing?

When I started this blog the south African majorette and cheer council had just launched its new website.
I honestly thought that this was a sign that drummies and cheerleading was going to grow in south Africa. but right I don't know.
The website is not updated, the design is overwhelming and not in a good way. There is no details about teams that do drum majorettes and how can the sport grow when people don't know where to go. There is no information about team registration and competitions are starting in February already.
I f this sport is to grow then there is a lot that needs to be done.

If you have any ideas on how we can help the sport grow please help contribute
