Redditch Revolutions Majorettes

2004

Redditch Revolutions were formed in June 2004 by Ann-Marie Carter as there was no longer a majorette troupe in Redditch. With the support of Margaret and Brian Bridgwater Redditch Revolutions was formed.

On the opening night many new recruits attended. 11 of the new recruits became regular members and performed at their first event in Bromsgrove after 3 months of training. The display was very well received and the girls did the Troupe proud.

The majorettes performed at their first inter-Troupe competition in December 2004.

2005

Redditch Revolutions rapidly grew in numbers with 45 members at peak.

We gained another trainer, Clare, who has competed for England twice and has passed on to the Troupe her experience. Sadly due to other commitments and re-location, Claire is no longer with the Troupe.

During 2005 Redditch Revolutions completed our first carnival season and we performed at numerous events across the West Midlands, Worcestershire, Warwickshire and Gloucestershire.

We held our second inter-troupe competition in December 2005, which proved to be even more successful than the 2004 event.  We raised some much needed funds from this event which allowed us to purchase some new costumes.

2006

We decided it was time to start competing against other Troupes. 

We joined UBT and competed at the Regionals in April.  Everyone had a fun time and we came away with some medals.

Redditch Revolutions once again have a third trainer.  Rachel Schieber has joined the troupe as a trainer after a break from teaching majorettes. 

In October, we competed at the UBT nationals and picked up 1 1^st, 2 2nds and 3 3^rd places for our team entries.  We also gained many medals for our individually placed leaders and mascots.  Again this was a really enjoyable weekend and we are looking forward to competing next year.

After 2 ½ years, we have decided to move to a bigger training hall to continue developing our twirling skills.  The hall has a much higher ceiling and larger floor area.

2007

We did really well at our recent competion in April including 1st Junior Baton, 1st Junior Military and 2nd Senior Pom Dance.  We have attended many displays and carnivals during the summer months.  We have been very lucky in receiving a grant from our local council which has enabled us to buy some new pom poms and flags.  A local dressmaker has very kindly made us some new military outfits and some new dance outfits.  We are looking forward to Nationals in October where we hope to improve on April's results.   We came away from Nationals with numerous 1st place medals.

2008

We have decided to enter our first Individual competition in February 2008.  We are now taking bookings for this season.
