Who are the Southern Knights

The Southern Knights are a Performing Arts, Colour Guard and Cheerleading organisation based in Brighton & Hove, East Sussex, England and perform precision marching and dance displays to music using flags, imitation rifles/sabres, pom poms and other similar items.

We cater for young people from school starting age and full instruction is provided therefore no previous experience is required to become a 'Knight'. 

There are currently 4 sections:-

• RUGRATS - school starting age to approx. 8 years old
• JUNIORS - 7 years old (or younger with some experience) to 11 years
• A GUARD - 10 year (or younger with some experience) to 15 years
• SENIORS - All ages but normally start age of minimum of 13 years

The age ranges above are reasonably flexible depending on experience

During the summer months we perform at local events (i.e. fetes and carnivals) as well as stage performances whilst during the winter the colour guards compete in their own competitive circuit (Winterguard) at venues all over the country.

In previous years we have also had a very successful Youth Marching Band / Drum Corps but due to instructional difficulties this part of our organisation is currently no longer running. However, for information the three sections involved, as well as a Colour Guard, were:

• BRASS - forward facing G pitched valved trumpet style instruments.
• MARCHING PERCUSSION - snare/bass/multi-tenor drums, cymbals.
• STATIC PERCUSSION - orchestral keyboards, timpani.
