Warwick United Majorettes Enjoy DC Experience
Warwick United Majorettes and Drum Corps recently represented Bermuda at the National Veterans Day Parade and Field Show in Washington, DC, marking the group’s seventh international trip.
Founded in 1975 by June Bailey Tuzo, the group continues to build on its longstanding legacy through international performances.
Under the leadership of group director Michee Barclay and co-director Anneka Donawa, the delegation comprised 65 members and supporters, including 32 majorettes and 11 drummers.
Organisers extended an invitation to the group after being impressed after viewing video footage shared on YouTube and other social media platforms.
Alongside their performances, members visited several historic landmarks, including the Lincoln Memorial, Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial and National Museum of African American History and Culture.
Ms Barclay, the group director, told Bernews: “The visit also provided a valuable learning opportunity for younger members, who enjoyed watching larger marching bands and gaining inspiration from their performances.
“Making the trip possible required tremendous teamwork, fundraising initiatives, generous donations and sponsorships. The group extends its heartfelt appreciation to everyone who contributed to making this journey a reality.”
Anneka Donawa, the co-director, said: “We were excited to get the chance to represent Bermuda on the international and showcase our majorette and drumming culture.”
