Charisma Majorettes
Bromeswell, Woodbridge, Suffolk, UK
I am the troupe leader for Charisma Majorettes, which I opened in early 1998 with the assistance of my daughter, Cerys, who is the twirl trainer for the troupe.
I became a United Kingdom Federation of Majorettes Judge and Trainer in 1996 and the Troupe participate in UKFM competitions from September to May each year.
During the Summer we are happy to be invited to participate in local fetes and events to raise funds for replacement equipment and costumes either through payment or being provided with free stall space.
The Troupe was
established to provide an outlet for the sport of majorettes in the
Woodbridge area in June 1998.
Children who
join, tend to bring along their friends, which indicates that they are
enjoying the instruction they are receiving.
The Troupe works within the capabilities of the members and always does the best they can at competitions and displays. Indeed, Charisma made another excellent showing at the last United Kingdom Federation of Majorettes regional and national competitions. At the last few National Finals we gained group honours in the Mace, Outdoor Display, Novelty, Twirl and Marching Groups, plus received the Best In Area award. Soloists and duos have done well too in all categories. Competition is always very fierce with the girls competing against at least eight larger troupes in the Regionals, from the East Anglian area, and there were around 50 troupes at the Nationals in 2010, so the Troupe’s average of success is extremely high.
