Junior corps end season in style.
The curtain has come down on an extreemly challenging and hugely rewarding season for the Junior corps. We entered the "Ouse Valley" competition in september knowing that if results didn`t go well it would be the end of our season. However not only did we make finals but came in 2nd place and won 3 captions, guard, brass and music. This gave the whole corps such a lift and from then on this group of youngsters turned into a corps. Every rehearsal was well attended and the workrate was top drawer.
All to soon finals day arrived and we travelled to Coventry leaving home at 5.30am in pouring rain. This was the tone of the day weather wise and when we marched onto the arena there were puddles everywhere on the field. The corps marched onto that field with extreem pride and totally exceeded anyones expectations on the day, with by far and away the peformance of the year and everyone came off of the field knowing that they had done their absolute best. The results were dissapointing to drop a place and not pick up a trophy, however to put the corps into competition and just make finals was a far dream 9 months before. Everyone at Cadence is very proud of our first season in competition.
Plans are well advanced for 2009. The first rehearsal was held last Thursday 16th October and the retention of members is very high with new members on board to.
Looking back 2008 has been a very step learning curve for everyone involved with the corps and we are all looking forward to 2009.... |
