On Friday 25th April we made our way to Hemsby for the first BATON competition.
We were first on for Junior Military on Saturday morning at 7.30am and so were up at the crack of dawn and hopefully ready for a long weekend ahead.
I would like to thank all my parents and supporters who came all the way to Hemsby from London, and every other troupe who supported us while we were performing, its nice to see the girls all supporting each other no matter what troupe their from.
I would also like to thank every single one of my girls who went out and gave 110%, you all worked so hard, especially my tinies who performed there hearts out and Kirsty who was so dissappointed on missing out on overall junior leader by 1 point.

You all know how proud I am of each and every one of you and we can all see how hard you all worked by all your results. It unbelieveable that it was only two and a half years ago we did our first comp and only came away with four medals. I love you all and am so proud not only to be your trainer but to be part of the East London Royals Majorettes.
