In
January 2009, when I was 5, I joined the St. Thomas Majorettes. The troupe started in
October but my cool Dad used his charm and got me in. I was three months
behind in learning the routines but I worked very hard and practiced
every day. Within a month I caught up to the rest of the troupe.
Being a majorette is awesome. I love twirling baton and being a
majorette and marching in parades. One of the really cool things is that
my Dad would use a stick for a baton and practice with me all the time.
Sometimes we'd practice outside and I guess it was quite a sight to
see my hippie Dad practicing majorette routines with his little girl, people would stop and giggle and cheer us on. Yeah Daddy ... but you can't march in the parade.

Practice Practice
Practice makes perfect so that's what I did. I practiced every day.

Valentines Day
On Valentines Day we got to dress up in red for practice and we had a party.

Parade Day
We marched from Emancipation Garden down the waterfront to the ballpark for the Little League tournament. I Love Parades.
