Swindon Bluebelle Drum Majorettes
The group was formed in September 2000 and were established in 2001. We are based in West Swindon and originally performed routines to taped music. Later in that year we started our own band which consisted of 1 drum, 1 bell-lyre and 1 bass, from there we have developed into a much larger self taught band with a full formation pom pom team including Mace Bearers and Flag Twirlers.
The troupe has attended many public events throughout the South West of England and contributed to many charities. The troupe consist of 30 Girl members ranging from the age of 11-18yrs. We have won many awards over the past five years including 1st prize at the Old Town Festival and Devizes Carnival, we have also attended televised events including Royal Bath & West Show & Yeovilton International Air Tattoo. The team are the Bronze medalist in the European open show band championship.
We rely on our own fundraising as well as incorporating educational trips within our yearly structure. Being part of a troupe with an active public focus raises self confidence and initiative. If anybody is interested in joining the troupe, we train every Friday evening in West Swindon.
