Britannia's Launch.
1st place winners at the Old Town Festival 2006 , 2008 and 2009
We are a junior military style brass instrumental marching majorette troupe.
The troupe was founded in Swindon in September 2004 and performed publicly for the first time in May 2005. We were founded not by the Nolan sisters who 'were in the mood for dancing' but the Ellis sisters who were and still are in the mood for marching.
Three of the four sisters are former majorettes so between them have a great deal of experience and knowledge. We perform drills to our own marching band with some instruments being played by girls as young as 8 and our eldest member being only 12 years old.
Previously to joining Britannia Majorettes many had never experienced the pleasure of playing a musical instrument. This goes to show what can be achieved in a short period of time with a lot of hard work and dedication by both girls and team leaders.
In addition to the band, Britannia Majorettes centre piece is the formations carried out by the girls ranging from 6 to 10 years of age co-ordinating their footwork with pom pom routines. We meet on Friday evenings between 7pm and 9pm. For joining or booking information please use our contact page.
Britannia Majorette's have performed at many different events, in and around Wiltshire, over the past two years including Coming first in the Old Town Festival Procession and opening the British Transplant Games that were held in Bath and The Royal Internation Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford.
