The team is very excited about the upcoming Championships, where they will be competing against 21 other teams in the Under 12 grade from all over New Zealand.
In December, they competed at the South Island Champs and placed 2nd in their technical march and 1st place in their display which was hugely exciting.
Most of the girls in the team have been marching together for 4 years, providing them with plenty of experience for a successful competition.
Coaches Mel and Ashleigh are extremely pleased with their steady progress and continued progress and can’t wait to see what the weekend brings.

Ban public sales of Fireworks.
Unfortunately there is too much misuse of fireworks by people that buy them.
The main problem is people stock up , then let them off at inappropriate times during the year.
As well as the amount of fire damage and extra pressure on medical services.
Also there is often a litter problem in public places.
What is the environmental impact from the gases from the burning of the fireworks?
Maybe the Government doesn't want want to ban public sales of fireworks because it gets revenue from the sales in taxes!
Public displays are far better quality and are at a set time.
Why is this important?
It protects our environment!
It stops noise pollution at inappropriate times!
saves extra pressure on fire service and Medical services

Bagging multiple awards, including Best Musical at both the Laurence Olivier Awards and the Tony Awards, CATS is considered among the all-time favourites of musical theatre fans.
This new production of the Andrew Lloyd Webber masterpiece will visit 16 cities nationwide in April and May. As well as, being the first major theatrical performance at the $127.5 million refurbished Christchurch Town Hall it will also visit Auckland and Wellington and many of the larger regional theatres throughout New Zealand - details below.
Since its world premiere, CATS has been presented in over 30 countries and has been seen by over 73 million people worldwide. CATS is based on Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T. S. Eliot. The musical tells the story of a tribe of cats called the Jellicles and the night they make what is known as "the Jellicle choice" and decide which cat will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and come back to a new life.

This month is all about bringing your community together and having a great time! We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isn't the houses and cars, gardens and streets - it's the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.
A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which is celebrating it's 10th anniversary from March 22nd to 31st. To help you get started, we love their suggestions for 10 little and 10 big ways to get involved. (link below)
